Yesterday we were absolutely enthralled 1 by the first 1600 exciting lines of Beowulf. Can anyone recap for us?
Hrothgar, king of the Danes, on the island of Zealand has built the mead 2 hall Heorot for feasting his warriors 3, but they abandoned it because of the murderous ravages 4 of the monster Grendel.
Is it just me, or does anyone else wanna absolutely hurl 5 from boredom 6?
Do you have a problem with Beowulf?
Yeah, my problem is nobody cares, I don't need this. Why am I gonna need this? No one has ever needed this. And let me make myself even clearer, Beowulf, needed? No. And on a completely side issue, who names your baby Hrothgar?
Are you through?
No, as a matter of fact, I am not. I don't think we need geography either.
Well, this is a school, what do you think we should do here?
I think we should sit around and talk about whatever we want. And you should make us cup cakes.
Cory Matthews, you are so right.
Shawn, Shawn, wake up, I fixed 7 everything.
Thank you for stopping me from wasting my entire life. I mean, I would have ended up just like Mr. Feeny who believes in geography and mathematics and all that other garbage you'll never need.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a teacher.
Cory, you pass these out to everybody.
When did you bake these?
Just the second.
I almost totally object to this flagrant desecration 8 of the temple of knowledge.
Stuff it, nerd boy.
