Creative Writing
Once upon a time up in the North Pole there was a very special school that was full of Goblins and Turkeys. The Goblins were the jocks of the school and were popular, while the turkeys were inferior and did whatever the Goblins told them to do. When Thanksgiving came around, the turkeys did the best they could to stay away from the Goblins because they knew the Goblins would try and eat them. On this Thanksgiving though everything changed. Some of the Goblins caught too many turkeys and killed them but didn't eat them. After leaving those turkeys alone thinking nothing would happen, something unexpectedly occured. The turkeys rised after being killed and turned into zombie turkeys. These zombies turkeys had only one thing on there mind...Revenge! On the next day at school the Goblins felt good about themselves and thought everything was normal. That night everything changed. After returning to the haunted house where they lived some of the Goblins were killed in there sleep. The Goblins never knew who killed there brothers and sisters but they would soon find out. It was christmas time now and Santa was coming. Santa told the Goblins that they have created a horrible creature named Zombie turkeys and that the Zombie turkey was the one who killed there brothers and sisters. The Goblins were vengeful and found some of the Zombie turkeys and killed most of them, but one. This Zombie turkey found out that Santa was the cause of all the Zombie turkeys deaths. Alone he traveled to where Santa lived, sneaked into the room Santa was in, and killed him. After killing Santa the Zombie turkey had no reason to stay alive. So he attacked the Goblins and killed as much as he could before finally dying because there was to much Goblins for him. The Goblins were sick and tired of losing there brothers and sisters so they decided that at the next day of school they would kill all the turkeys. The Goblins did end up killing all of them and ruled the North Pole by themselves without anybody to bother them.

Sonnet
Thought it would be fun to take my moms car
Until out of nowhere i saw a cop
Messing around not going to far
I pulled over my heart suddenly stopped
Waiting for a ticket, thought i was dead
Felt like a weight came off of my shoulders
"Hell of a game last night" he said instead
Took a breath the cop put back his folders
Relieved i thought i was grounded for life
He let me go, not ruining the night
Letting me go, being so nice
My parents and i didnt have to fight
Thanked him later, i didnt get busted
He said make sure you win don't get frustrated

Beowulf Movie Review
A major change to the plot of the story is how Beowulf is actually a real person. He just looks like a monster compared to the other men because of how tall he was. In the book it was said he was the devils slave and seeing him as a human was really different. He also had a son which seemed very strange. Changing these parts really made it weird and adding the love story with that girl and Grendel seemed even more strange. The director of the movie made it very different and I didn't really like what he did with the movie.
An effective change in the movie is how Grendel has a son and he wasn't really a devil's slave or a monster that they described in the poem. He was a regular man who just looked like a troll and had an affair with that one lady. It was like Grendel had a love story and Beowulf ended it by killing him. Another effective change is how Beowulf doesn't really fight for himself and to get fame. He did it for the people of the town and didn't really seem like he wanted all that fame.
Some religious conflicts that came in the movie that was not in the poem was the Christian Monk that told the people to just pray to God and Grendel wouldn't hurt them. He was also able to baptize all of the warriors that was at the city. This was the religion that was most affected in the movie.
