... the gifts to his folk beloved, hale to his home, and in haste return. This is Hrothgar’s (Healfdane’s son) way of being generous and thanking Beowulf for slaying Grendel and it’s mother.

... his wife and daughter, Charlie was still able to put his life back together.

One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture, a pale blue eye, with a film over it”, his blood ran cold whenever it fell upon him (106).

In the first book, titled “Sowing, � we are introduced to those that Dickens creates a firm character basis with.

... truly understand him, but the affair ended as those rumors continued to spread. In his poem "She Walks In Beauty", Lord Byron describes what he thinks to be the perfect woman. The rhyming, meter, and sound devices give the poem a melodious and gentle tone.
