The king was deeply upset and felt sorry for his people due to the immense pain Grendel was causing. When the men saw the monster’s tracks, they knew just how terrible and hateful he was. The grief they felt was almost too heavy to handle, like a weight that crushed their spirits. What Grendel brought on them was so awful that it felt both disgusting and never ending.

I truly find the concept of "open pedagogy" a valuable one. I was unfamiliar with this concept before reading through this. It could be a very useful approach for the fact that I feel like many students have their minds closed in a way. Being able to hear students' interesting opinions and ideas rather than just being a consumer of knowledge allows students to be more confident within themselves when it comes to learning. Overall, this will help students be more open-minded and invested in their learning.
