Write a comparative analysis of Beowulf and John Gardners Grendel. Select one particular character, topic, or theme for your comparison. For example, you might compare Grendel in each story, or Beowulf; you might compare each storys representation of Anglo-Saxon culture, or heroism; you might compare each authors writing style, or genre. Whats important is that you select something specific. Your paper should include an introduction that establishes appropriate background
information and context, as well as a thesis statement in which you articulate your central claim
about how and why Gardner is adapting the older text. The paper should then develop as a series of well-crafted paragraphs
