Copy the following sentences leaving room to re-write each in between

These are all actual sentences from student papers written about Beowulf as protagonist. We are not bashing these people for making mistakes, they were chosen because they were COMMON MISTAKES seen in MANY, MANY papers. Let's write down: What is wrong and then fix them together so that we stop making these errors.

1. He "seized himself, claws bent back.." shows how strong Beowulf is (41).

2. Beowulf protected everyone. "That mighty protector of men meant to hold the monster till its life leaped out."

3. He is said to be a protagonist by "he had been granted new glory" (43).

4. He is describe as "grasped at a strong-hearted wakeful sleeper"

5. "Retelling Beouwulf's bravery as they jogged along."
