[15:20 RUFFLES] umm…
[15:20 RUFFLES] I am looking
[15:21 Ncredible36] does anyone have any questions about this read to help them better understand?

[15:22 superstar] Is there another monster
[15:22 RUFFLES] same
[15:22 Ncredible36] does anyone have any questions about this read to help them better understand?
[15:22 RUFFLES] I think there is another monster
[15:22 RUFFLES] I think is a dragon
[15:22 superstar] No it can’t be
[15:22 RUFFLES] then what is it?
[15:23 superstar] I think it is Grendel’s mom
[15:23 RUFFLES] I meant after that
[15:23 Ncredible36] In 23 we have Beowulf in the underground hall
[15:23 Superstar13] where is the others is just us
[15:23 RUFFLES] after grendels monster
[15:23 RUFFLES] mother
[15:24 Ncredible36] In 23 we have Beowulf in the underground hall with grendels mother
[15:24 RUFFLES] almost last sentence of chapter 23i
[15:24 RUFFLES] saw it says the water is all clean
[15:24 RUFFLES] in the lake
[15:24 RUFFLES] because all the demons are dead
[15:24 superstar] Oh ok now I under stand it
[15:25 Ncredible36] fighting with grendels mother
[15:25 RUFFLES] ya
[15:25 RUFFLES] and all the blood went away
[15:25 superstar] so that’s the other monster
[15:25 Ncredible36] the only thing protecting Beowulf is
[15:25 Ncredible36] the chain mail shirt he is wearing
[15:25 RUFFLES] i think is his sword
[15:25 Superstar13] Can we read chapter 24
[15:26 Ncredible36] no normal sword can penetrate grendels mothers hide
[15:26 Ncredible36] no 13
[15:26 superstar] Yeah that what it said in the story
[15:26 RUFFLES] oh
[15:26 Ncredible36] so what does Beowulf find on the wall of the den
[15:26 ladyhistory] so how did he kill grendals mom or did he?
[15:27 Superstar13] I wish we could
[15:27 RUFFLES] wow a normal sword
[15:27 Ncredible36] a great big sword that no normal man can wield or carry
[15:27 RUFFLES] can defeat a monster
[15:27 Ncredible36] he rips it from the wall breaks it from its fetters(chains)
[15:27 RUFFLES] fetters?
[15:28 Ncredible36] and chops off the head of the great beast
[15:28 Superstar13] That is scared me
[15:28 superstar] Did Beowulf use that sword when he killed Grendel
[15:28 RUFFLES] chops it off and puts it in the hall?
[15:28 Ncredible36] he then looks for grendel and what does he do next?
[15:28 Ncredible36] can anyone tell me?
[15:28 RUFFLES] didn’t he kill grendel before
[15:28 RUFFLES] how can he look for him again
[15:29 Ncredible36] grendel was already dead
[15:29 RUFFLES] he putted his arms,claws,shoulder on the herot
[15:29 ladyhistory] no just injured him
[15:29 Ncredible36] he looked for the body
[15:29 RUFFLES] oh
[15:29 ladyhistory] and he died so what is he looking 4
[15:29 Ncredible36] grendel was dead
[15:29 RUFFLES] but you guys said he was dead when he ran out of blood
[15:29 superstar] ok so Grendel is not dead
[15:29 Ncredible36] he did die
[15:29 Ncredible36] his body was in the den
[15:29 ladyhistory] yes he is
[15:29 RUFFLES] den
[15:29 superstar] just injured
[15:29 RUFFLES] den?
[15:30 ladyhistory] nope dead
[15:30 RUFFLES] I got 2 questions how
[15:30 superstar] what is den
[15:30 RUFFLES] come N said he is dead
[15:30 RUFFLES] lady history said he is injured
[15:30 Ncredible36] and Beowulf wanted to replace his old trophy which was stolen by grendels mother
[15:30 Superstar10] I come back in 5 minutes
[15:30 Ncredible36] the trophy was the arm
[15:30 Superstar13] If I was in that sense I would be scared and I would add other thing to made it better
[15:30 RUFFLES] how did grendel steal his trophy
[15:30 RUFFLES] oh
[15:31 Ncredible36] so he went to the body to cut off his head
[15:31 Superstar13] yes
[15:31 RUFFLES] how come he stole back the arm and claw and shoulder
[15:31 Ncredible36] grendels mother stole her sons arm back
[15:31 RUFFLES] oh
15:31 TechKnight has joined the room
15:31 TechKnight has joined the room
[15:31 RUFFLES] so she stole it back
[15:31 RUFFLES] from the herot
[15:31 Superstar13] hi TechKnight
[15:32 RUFFLES] and Beowulf cut off grendels head
[15:32 RUFFLES] and replaced his arm and shoulder and claws
[15:32 ladyhistory] ok everybody listen – when grendel first attacked, beowulf ripped his arm off, then he hung the arm which was the trophy. grendal was injured went back to the underwater den and lost all his blood and died near his mom. Grendals mom becomes very angry and out of revenge goes back to Herot and kills again and takes back Grendals arm. Beowulf goes to kill her and and takes back the trophy – everybods ok now?
[15:32 Ncredible36] so when beowulf cut the head off the dead grendels body the blood that poured out of grendels
[15:32 RUFFLES] and putted in the herot?
[15:32 Ncredible36] melted the sword only leaving the hilt which is the base of it or handle
15:33 TechKnight has joined the room
[15:34 superstar] I understand much more better now

  1. You guys were all talking about the chapters that we read over the weekend and what we felt about it. I wasn’t there so as I see it there was a lot of fun going on and a lot of discussion about the book.
