What if Grendel vs. Beowulf was Mediated by Dr. Phil?
Disclaimer: I may or may not have gotten a bit carried away with this. All jokes aside, I had always wondered what a *civil* conversation between Grendel and Beowulf would have looked like. This “skit” (or whatever you’d like to call it) was written to take place of the fight between Beowulf and Grendel. It’sContinue reading “What if Grendel vs. Beowulf was Mediated by Dr. Phil?”
project 1
I hope the audio quality isn’t too bad. I wanted to record it in the radio station for noise cancellation but I couldn’t get in there for a while so I had to record in my dorm. I’m also not used to ballad style singing so it’s really not great, please don’t judge me tooContinue reading “project 1”
Beowulf Diorama: A question of perspective.
While I was working on my first project, I realized that I was unsure of what angle to look at it in.

Project 1– An Equiano Collage Visual
The whole of my unessay and the process to get there was interesting, to say the least. I knew straight away for this first project that I didn’t want to do a traditional essay but maybe something more creative. The problem with that is I am somebody who is artistic, but not super artistic. ForContinue reading “Project 1– An Equiano Collage Visual”
Equiano’s Map
https://equianomap.000webhostapp.com/ For my first project of the semester, I wanted to do something with The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do at first but I did really like his detailed descriptions of each place he visited (and he certainly visited a lot of places!)Continue reading “Equiano’s Map”
