Beowolf

The text of this high school English submission is certainly boggling. Note the teacher's pithy comment!

*****

The epic Beowolf reveals much of the personality of the range of England at its time. Just as the mass of today itinerates towards amusement parks and horror films, the people of this time had an inclination towards danger, excitement, and human nature under the extreme pressure of evil. The people of this period probably preferred justice in addition to horror that the imagination could fortify, where vengeance of "good" finds a piece in the puzzle. Beowolf also shows that the feeling of chivalry was beginning to emerge and was amalgamating into romance slowly. The listeners would not obviously sympathize with the mass of people being put under extreme vice. And also the people of this time since Christianity wasn't soldily established yet, the common people were most likely looking for an object of superiority, a person whom they could model themselves after. Beowolf, one who displayed fealty and chivalry was sublime role model. The lack of religion in many people's life at the time caused these heroes to become something to achieve.

Teacher's note: "Try to be more specific."
