We learnt about shield and how English was different at the olden times.

I never heard before of a ship so well furnished with battle tackle, blades.

I chose this quote because this is the first sentence that has first person in it and I am wondering if this is from someone’s perspective or if the writer is expressing his feelings and thoughts when he tried to translate the poem of Beowulf. Therefore, I chose to interpret my opinion by writing what I think. I think that a monk or pope may have written that poem and what he saw might be from his perspective.
