A lie can be held for a long time but not forever, we can change the truth, but at the end is the fact that speaks for us. Every human been has its own demon to solve! We can say that the demon represents all that is related to what is wrong.
I always have thought that a lie takes to another one, and that the truth cannot be hidden for ever, in one way or another it will be revealed.
In the story of Beowulf, he thought that it was going to be able to hide everybody that the mother of Grendel had not killed, and that on the contrary he had committed the error to procreate a son with this demon. But he was wrong. Thus in the end everything was known and the consequences of this lie were lived. The point is that a lie cannot be hidden by always although we try to forget about it, the truth always will be appeared.
According to the film the age of the demons always has to exist, because the man is very weak to repulse his attacks.
I do not think so because the truth always appears at one time or another and is very hard keep the consequences of a lie away our life, at the end all is known. According to Beowulf the age of demons is not over and I agree because all of us have a perception about the life so, if we believe in good things it means that we believe in bad things, even since the beggining of the divine creation had existed angels and demons and each of us have our own angles and demons.
Lie:
A lie never can help us in our life becuese in everytime poeple around of us could know truth. When it happen nothing is same for us. Our life can be change and our relationship too. A lie never is forever.
About demons:
For me, demon age could be real becuase poeple always have in thier stories or custumers in many culture with differents kind of demons. Now of days, some poeple keep to live some of those.These are coming of British or European for general.
Can a lie be held for ever? I think NO, because all the time truth go out and always truth wins over lie...Most people ‘think’ that lie is the best way to win or get something, or is bether lie to a person for his or her ‘god’, I am not agree with this kind of thougth..... For me is bether tell the truth and it doesn’t matter if the truth produces pain, at the end it is gonna be bether......
Is the age of demons over? No.. Bad and evil things continue in life and day by day there is a war between God and demons. Some people believe that demons is a lie or fantacy,but demons are real and angels too.....
The lie always go out although it be held for a long time, it will be revealed. Many people lies to get something but always the truth appears and is there when come the problems and consequences of a lie.On the other hand,I think that we have our own demons and angles.
Evaluation:
1. Describe the setting of the story.
Well, It story is about a man called Beowolf , a Sorceress an Danish people…This Sorceress had the control in the Danish Kingdom and people Danish too, She asked to Beowolf a son and she promised to him that he will have life and wealth forever, Beowolf became a King and he recieved a burden…. At the end he decided to kill the dragon who was his son and he obtained it and with this he paid the praice for his mistake.. Beowolf death and his friend became a king and the sorceress seduced him and the same curse continue….
2. What does the main character look like and what makes him the main character?
He looks like a son of a god because he was not a normal man, he had a lot of strength and courage…
He was the main charácter because he decided to kill Grendel who was the son of the king, he obtained this and became the king of the Danish people…
3. How is the advance of Christianity shown in the movie?
Christianity is shown like a powerfull wave that was growing in that time.. One of the servant of the king advised to him recieve help from Christianity to destroy Grendel but the king told to his servant that the only thing that they needed was a hero and then Beowolf appeared…..
4. How is the Danish and Northern-Saxon culture displayed?
They both were people that gave much liberty to the sexual desires and men were prepared to the war and to hunt and women were prepared to the domestic works…
5. What morale can be brought from this story?
I think the morale is that all people need to be humble and to follow the truth because if we think that we are indestructible, see other inferiors and live all the time lying, we are in a wrong way and in the end we wil pay because of believe this kind of wrong things….
Profesor disculpe por esto.. lo que pasa es que no tengo a la mano su correo.. espero me disculpe..
For good or for evil a lie can not be held for ever. Even more if many people are involve into it. Sometimes we lie to be better and that the other people can catch it but whom we cheat? to they or to ourselves?
The monsters and demons like the story do not exist any more, but nowaday people have to fight against others like poverty, misery, and drugs. And this requires a hardest work because there are not a hero who destroy them.
Profesor He tratado de enviarle a su correo(williamgonzales970@yahoo,com)pero el correo me dice que el mensaje no ha sido recibido a su correo.....Es por eso que no he borrado del blog las respuestas para que usted se de cuenta de que cumpli con la tarea...
A lie just hides the truth and all we know that a powerful truth will always come out to the surface. Humanity feels it as an ugly stuff burning its souls so that's why we cannot held a lie forever.
About the second question is relative to say that demons are over done because those who believe in the particular existence of demons may believe it or not. If it's me, I believe that people has it owns demons inside and nowadays we can find several demons in our life all dressed as common people.
A lie is just a lie, something that goes against our tachings and principles of christian values. It is something which can be either small or big but in the end gets like a cancer that starts slightly insignificant and then get strongly unavoidable. Lies either they are small or big they end up being known at the end and sometimes when we wanna maintain them hidden, they end up bringing another and another. There is a christian axiom that goes: "There is nothing between heavean and earth that can not be revealed some time later", The Bible.
To me, the age of demons is not over yet and you can realize when you get to see the news everyday: war, hatred, famine, sexual immorality, are signs that tell us we have a fight aginst the devil whom we have to resist. If people got to participe in an exorcism (something that is not very pleasant by the way),they would have to realize that our fights are not against ourselves alone, but to evil spirits which sometimes you might see speaking in other tongues different than his and sometimes saynig things that other people themselves know about their own lives. Take it into account, demons exist, and they are always there willing to make you be yours. Just try to maintain in grace, and you will surely have the power to resit them.
A lie can not be held forever... maybe for a long time, but at the end there's nothing hidden between heaven and earth.
The age of demons isn't over, they do exist, they move around but the difference between “the age of demons” and today is that people stopped believing in their existence long time ago.
It is impossible held a lie forever because the power and weight of the truth it’s becoming more and more with the years. Beside, there will be always someone who knows the truth (ourselves) and in some point has to say the truth.
I don’t really believe that the age of demon is over; I mean, day after day we hear or see more story of people who fight aging them. There are a lot of different demons in this day for example drugs, alcohol, and others, but still we can easily find the same epic demon, and they have lived in earth since the beginning.
I think that the world is small between many people and you cannot cover the sun whith a finger, a lie always bring other one, is better to say the truth on time that a lie that marks the rest of your life, because at the end all is known.
Relating to the demons I think that it does not exist The age of demons is over, they don`t exist.
a lie can not be held forever because at the end is all about the thruth, and how we must be and we should act before god´s eyes, and the age of demons is not over yet because everyone of us has an inner demon, because the duality of human beings is real.
