During this week we emailed multiple contacts for our project. I also continued to read the singularity, and am finding it slightly confusing, but very interesting. It's amazing how much progression we have made in just a few years. One of the contacts we emailed, Bruce, is a family friend, hopefully we can interview him.

This week we continued our language and hero studies, which all culminated the end of the week with out essay and Beowulf quiz. My essay was the sixth prompt, which meant that I wrote my essay about the modern definition of a hero. I said that heroes are simply embodiments of their cultures values, and wrote about it.

We mainly focused on beowulf this week, and finished the story. We also answered a lot of questions about the reading, and analyzed its definition of heroes, as well as watching a short clip of the movie and how the director portrayed grendel.

This week we learned about languages.
It was interesting to discover that there are so many endangered languages, many of which are in New York.
Also, we watched a great, informative and entertaining video about the root of English, and I learned that it is a combination of anglo saxon german, and french latin.
