College of Southern Nevada The Beowulf Manuscript & Scandivania Discussion
Question Description
This is a creative project, so have fun! The idea is to provide the lost ending or missing back-story of one of the works weve read this semester, or to write a short narrative in which characters from two different works interact in some way; a short parody of the work of one of the authors would be fine too. Papers should be 500-750 words, unless youre inspired to write more.
