Blood
(Recommended for Advanced Middle School and Up)
The epic poem Beowulf is full of blood. People have different reactions to gore, whether it’s in a movie, a graphic novel, or an ancient poem. Today’s vampire novels andTV make blood seem exotic, but it’s something all animals have in common.
How do you feel about blood? Does the sight of it make you feel faint? Or are you surprisingly calm? Maybe you have your own gory tale to tell…
Recommended Reading: Gareth Hinds graphic novel Beowulf has enough gore to satisfy horror fans (Beowulf tears off Grendel's mother's head -- it's not exactly a clean cut). Check out http://www.garethhinds.com/beowulf.php
