Beowulf

The first time i heard about Beowulf i was in high school. I watched the movie but i was completely unaware that it has a connection to English literature. Even it was a bit different from the original story that we watched in our class at school, the movie was very impressive. The story is very unique and very exciting, places  and events are different from our world that we live in. When i realize that it was the old English heroic epic poem  in English Literature, i was very surprised and even more amazed about literature. Additionally,  in our class our teacher told us that JRR Tolkien impressed his book Hobbit from Beowulf  it made me think how literature can extend our imagination and made me want to know more about English Literature and books. Now i'm very excited and looking forward to see our next topic in our Literature class.
