Rigoberto Rivera, Final Exam

The hero's journey is avery common in alot of films, storys, and also in art. In the story of Beowulf it is a very good example of the hero's journy. It shows you how Beowulf was a true hero.

Beowulf faces alot of obstacles on his way. The first was to fight Grendel. Beowulf is called to go and fight Grendel by the King Hrothgar, of Herot, because Grendal was eatting all of the soldiers. When Beowulf decides to fight Grendel, he does it with no weapon. He thinks that because he is the good one that god would be on his side. Beowulf succeeds in kiilling Grendel, and thats what brings him to hi second mission.

When Grendeldies, the mom got mad and started killing the people. So thats when Beowulf gets his second mission, to get rid of Grendel's mom. Beowulf then goes to Grendel's mother's swamp, but can't use his weapon because of this spell that she uses. So when he was battleing Grendel's mother, Beowulf ends up finding an axe. So then he kills her with the axe, and moves on to the next mission.

So his last mission was to kill the dragon, and take his treasure while your at it. No matter what it is to get the treasure. While in the cave all of Beowul's men run away exept for one called Wiglaf. When battling the dragon, beowulf gets severely injured. Still Beowulf manages to kill the dragon. Beowulf takes the treasure and gives it to the poor. Before he dies he tells Wiglaf to make him a mural on the cliff over the ocean. he also tells Wiglaf to throw his ashes into the ocean.

Beowulf truly is an epic hero. i mean killinbg both Grendel and Grendel's mother, and still the dragon. One he did it with no weapon, and the others with weapons. In the end also getting a mural done in honor for him. That is truly a real hero. One who will be remembered for a long time, even though its not real.
