Were any of your predictions correct? If so, which ones? If not, why not? My predictions were correct when I said that Grendel would battle Grendel and win. But I was not anticipating how welcoming the town and Hrothgar would be. I thought that he would have to prove himself to the Danes and they would be uncertain of him. 2. Were you surprised by the way it ended or did you predict it would turn out that way all along?Give two examples of context clues in the story that either helped you to make these predictions or led you to an ending that was different than you predicted.
In section (two) I was told that Beowulf was the most powerful of the men that were there. I predicted that this would mean that he would actually defeat the great Grendel, and that was how he would earn the respect of the country men. Another context clue is how they called him strong and the way his stature was made him look like he had a war-like mind. That’s how he would get the strategy to defeat him.
