Beowulf,An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem

     This week,we learned Beowulf which is the oldest known piece of Anglo-Saxon Litareture.Its author is unknown and the action of the poem takes place around 500 A.D.It is an epic poem.Its themes are warrior culture,kinship,violence,good and evil,heroism and fate.It is set in Scandinavia.In this lesson,we watched animated epic Beowulf.It reinforced our lastest information received from the lesson.
 


      As long as we learn something about English Literature,we can relay information to our students better.It goes like this,our students will learn many things about English Literature and they can understand what they read almost all.
     Beowulf and the other subjects we will learn will provide benefit for our career.So,we must study this lesson well.

“Brevity is the soul of wit.”

      This week,I was absent in the English Literature Lesson,because my doctor said to me need an endoscopic examination on account of my ilness. I caught the last ten minutes of lesson,so I could see only the last page of slide. “For Sale : Baby Shoes,Never Worn.”  When I saw this sentence,it was very intrigued.

     I searched this sentence inquisitorially and I had some information about this. Actually,this sentence is a six-word story written by Ernest Hemingway. The baby shoes story was referred to as a "short-short" story, but the general idea of trying to tell a story with minimum words is now known by the term of flash fiction or sudden fiction. Flash fiction is a style of fantastic literature and fiction of extreme brevity.

     When I searched more and more,I came across some “short-short” stories. I want to share some of them.

 “Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.” By William Shatner

“Sorry ,love : Heartbreak is more interesting.” Anonymous

     When I am ending up my reflection paper,I want to say last thing summarising composition wholly. “Brevity is the soul of wit.”
