Favorite Book

One of my favorite books I have read is Beowulf. I had to read it for honors English last year. I thought it was a really cool book. It was very interesting because it is such an old story. I liked the story line about how Beowulf is an epic hero and is pretty much unstoppable. One of the best parts about reading it for class was that we got into some pretty heated debates about it. There was only nine students in that class and we would spend whole class periods arguing about the book. The biggest argument was about whether or not Beowulf was a hero. Half of the class thought he was and the other half didn't. We all had to write a paper after reading the book and most of us wrote on that topic. After reading Beowulf we read the Canterbury Tales. I really liked these stories as well. It is a cool book because it is composed of a lot of short stories. These stories were often times not very appropriate. In fact some of the stories were pretty raunchy. This book was really funny because it used a lot of old time ways to say bad stuff. This book also started some interesting debates in our class.  Beowulf and Canterbury Tales would probably have to be my two favorite books.
