      This story was long AF but it was really good from the begging to the end. Tristan was i would say a humble person and tried helping other. The people loved him for the way he would just teach them new ways of doing things. He was no ordinary hero if that what you would like to call him. him not being able to find be with his loved one was said. I feel that as we read these stories it goes from killing dragons and people to a similar but nicer person then the others.

      Apart . Beowulf reminds me of a good hero in most story's of how he i slaying the demons and of his past of how he was raised. His fighting and always with a group or sometimes alone. it was a good reading and somewhat different in the movie.

      Apart 1. The story is really getting good with Beowulf and his group traveling across the seas to fight a demon named Grendel that was killing people at night and taking them back to his cave.

    1. You promised us a good run,

      This quote Cuchulainn tells the charioteer show that he wants to go until someone or thing has stopped them.

    2. The story of Cuhullin was a very interesting one. It tells a story of power and how he wanted to become the best warrior. He would challenge any one in his path and would just show off his talents to who was near him. As i continue to read my minds pictures a cold heart person willing to kill anyone in his path for fame and power and that will got to any length and distance to win. I feel in the world we live today people are willing to tear each other apart just to reach the top. That is where my mind leads me,
