Assignment**

Based on the outlines and rough draft work we began in class, write an essay that compares and contrasts an element, scene or section of the poem "Beowulf" with the corresponding aspect of the movie version. Your essay should be 4-5 paragraphs long, should probably be around 500 words long (although this is not a strict requirement), and should include:

-a **thesis statement** found near the end of the **introduction** paragraph that summarizes your overall argument about book vs. movie - which version of your scene, event, character, etc. was more artistically successful or interesting to you, and why?

-at least one **body paragraph** that makes your argument with examples and quotes. Each body paragraph should begin with a good **topic sentence** that introduces the subject of the paragraph.

-At least **two quotes** from the poem as found in our textbook (if you're not going to have your textbook this weekend, make sure to write down some quotes during class. Partial versions of the translation from our book can be found here and [|here].)

-**examples** from both book and movie that prove your argument

-a **conclusion** that restates your thesis and ends with an interesting thought or idea

You may write your essay in Word, Google Docs, as a page on this wiki, or in any other format that can be linked below.
