Is my Sonnet in Iambic Pentameter?
A hawk am I, fierce beak, claws sharp as knives,
I swoop, wings beating air, and snatch up fish
From water, eating fast, a sharp, quick dive
Will get me all the food for which I wish.

My wings spread far, and make a shadow down there,
On fields of wheat and forests green with life
And rivers winding through the land, so fair,
A mouse I spy scurrying without strife.

I pounce upon the rodent small and white,
It does not see my form as I draw near,
Between my claws and then without a fight,
The creature is now paralyzed with fear.

Wings, please take me as high as clouds in day,
And stars in night, the world will have its way.

That is how it reads to me. The good news is that you have a number of iambic lines. Remember pentameter referes to 5 feet or 10 beats S2L1 has 11 beats.

No, luv.
Iambic Pentameter is when it follows a certain beat, usually on the second syllable, and every other syllable after that.
Much of Shakespeare’s writing was in Iambic Pentameter.

Short answer: yes. It is.

However, you’ve tried so hard to focus on the meter that a lot of your phrasing is really weird ("and make a shadow down there" is really awkward), a lot of your lines contain unnecessary filler words (all the food for which I wish), and the poem generally doesn’t seem to mean anything (especially the final couplet).

One criticism of the meter is you use a lot of pyrrhics and spondees. Try to use them as little as possible, as they make the meter sound really weird except in rare cases when you’re using them to make a point.

My scansion:
iamb iamb spondee spondee iamb
iamb spondee iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb spondee
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb

iamb iamb iamb iamb anapest
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb trochee pyrrhic spondee (in the end, if your feet aren’t mostly iambs and anapests, the line isn’t iambic)

iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb pyrrhic spondee iamb iamb

trochee trochee iamb iamb iamb

Beowulf & Grendel

Posted by davidperkins1981 on 21st April 2010

Beowulf & Grendel
Beowulf & Grendel (2005)

IMDB rating: 6.10

Plot: The blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior’s battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood – immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf’s willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll’s rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. The story is set in barbarous Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one – the southern invader, Christ. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. Vengeance, loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine. A story of blood and beer and sweat, which strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale.

Directors: Gunnarsson Sturla

Actors: Ingvarsson Hringur,Wilding Spencer,Skarsgard Stellan,Sigur?sson Ingvar Eggert,Eyjolfsson Gunnar,Butler Gerard,Whitchurch Philip,Vibert Ronan,McCann Rory,Curran Tony,Delaney Martin,Lewis Mark,Olafsson Olafur Darri,Action,Drama,Adventure,Fantasy,

How do you interpret the end of the 2007 Beowulf movie ?
First of all, I love the new twists they added to the story. It makes it much more interesting.

However, I find it very nightmarish and desturbing, that they never actually defeat the sea demon (Angelina Jolie).

Basically what we have is;
1) the original king, was seduced by the Sea demon … she bore Grendel to him. And Grendel Plagued the city.

2) Beowulf comes along and kills Grendel. However, Beowulf loses his battle with the sea demon, and lays with her instead. He gives her a golden horn, and promises him that as long as she has it, he will be invincible.

3) The Kings is so estatic to be rid of her curse anyway, that he jumps to his death.

4) Beowulf becomes king only to have his demon son (the dragon, born from the sea demon) attack years later. Beowulf sacrifices himself to kill him.

The movie ends with Beowulf’s loyal Wiglaf standing on the shore, holding the cursed horn and looking at the sea demon.

It would have been so much more satisfying if Wiglaf had thrown the horn back into the ocean, and gone back ashore.

As it is the movie ends nightmarish. You are left thinking "Oh God, don’t tell me the same cycle will start all over again."


Probably just setting up for a sequel.

Movies for a little girl?
My daughter LOVES mermaids, princesses, fairies. Her favorite movie is The Little Mermaid. She also likes all the Disney Princesses and the Barbie movies like Mermaida and Fairytopia. My question is what other movies are like these?
she is 4 years old


Ferngully would be a good one for her to watch. Sleeping Beauty is good.

Scotty | Feb 28, 2008


There is a Little Mermaid II. Has she seen that?
How old? Aquamarine is a good one for maybe ages 6 and up.
Ferngully is one my girls liked. The main character is a fairy.

Totally switching gears, my youngest went nuts for horses after seeing Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron when she was 2?. She’s almost 8 now, and it’s still one of her favorites. We even have the soundtrack album, which has some great songs by Brian Adams and Sarah McLachlan (sp?).
Sunny Lady | Feb 28, 2008


Seapeople. It’s best if she saw this at like, the age of 9-12.
seaelven | Feb 28, 2008


I work at Blockbuster and there is this new barbie movie called "Mariposa" which is butterfly in spanish, you should check it out, your daughter would probably like it.

Elina knows that it’s difficult feeling like you don’t belong, so when Bibble decides not to visit a friend for fear of not fitting in, Elina relates the story of a butterfly fairy named Mariposa who loves to read and dream about the stars and the worlds beyond her land, but never quite feels like she fits in with her fellow fairies. Flutterfield was once a land of frightened fairies forced to hide in darkness from the monster-like Skeezites who devour butterfly fairies, but is now ruled by kind. . .

My neice loves Cindrerlla and Aladdin. Try Fern Gully…that has fairies in it.

CB | Feb 28, 2008


She might like "Cinderella" and "Alice in Wonderland". If she is old enough to like "The Bratz" dolls, there is a movie out about them. as well. :D
Lynn | Feb 28, 2008


the princess diary movies
the last unicorn
harlow | Feb 28, 2008


If she likes cartoons, you should try a Hayao Miyazaki film. My Neighbor Totoro is a good one for young children. Some, like Princess Mononoke, are a little violent and are for older audiences. Spirited Away is another good one, and maybe Kiki’s Delivery Service. The protagonists are girls (age 5-9 or so in Totoro, 10 in spirited away and 13 in Kiki). They are uplifting and pleasant but adventurous. Miyazaki is known as the "Walt Disney of Japan." I’ve never seen a movie of his I didn’t enjoy.
Spacebunny: Puppy Lover | Feb 28, 2008


If your little girl loves princesses, she should see Enchanted. If she loves fairies, she should see the new Tinker Bell movie that’s coming soon. If she loves mermaids, she should see Splash. I hope this answers your questions.

Complicated life decision, please help me.?
Hello, lately I have been thinking over and over about something and couldn’t make a decision so if anyone can give me some advice it would be great. My english isn’t great so please forgive me for my bad writing.

Me and my girlfriend both live together. We both currently are in university and also work part-time to pay rent, insurance, ect. About 2 days ago, my girlfriend started talking about how it is stressing her out and how her grades isn’t as good as she wanted it. She suggested that one of us should work full-time while supporting the other until they finished university. I liked the idea, so I told her that I will work so that she can focus on her study.

But when I told one of my best friend about it, he told me that it is a very bad idea. He told me that his cousin once did that and in the end, the girl graduated and left for another man. So lately I have been thinking hard about it and still don’t know what I should do. My girlfriend and I only been together for about 1.5 years. To me, my girlfriend seem like a nice person; but I am terrible when it comes to knowing female.


That’s a horrible idea. Do not drop out of school. It is hard to get back into it after you do. If you guys were married, maybe it would be a different story. Cut back on expenses like eating out and stuff to help save up more money. Both of you should stay in school.
CLP | Feb 06, 2010


I would have to agree with your friend. Finish your degree. You’ll both be able to make much more money after its done anyways, plus if you two split you’ll have something to fall back on. There isn’t much worse than being dumped and having nothing but a high school diploma to work with… you’ll be back living with your parents in no time. Tell her how important it is to you to get a full education, and if she’s a real girlfriend she’ll accept it.
Pat | Feb 06, 2010


Both of you need to go to school. Take care of yourself before you are ready to take care of another person. Finish school. Because, it is true. You guys may not work out and then what.
Darla | Feb 06, 2010


I agree with your friend. Getting your degree is one of the most important things in your life right now.

Unfortunately many of us who went through college, or are going now, had to work part-time and it was not easy. I sympathize that your gf is feeling this stress, but I think you need to keep to the path as we like to say.

Why don't they ever show a pussy in movies? I see graphic male full frontal constantly now.?
I am sick of females complaining about not showing male nudity and always showing female nudity. I rarely see female nudity anymore and have NEVER seen a pussy graphically shown. I see dicks all the time. Even on FX, HBO and Showtime I see constant male full frontal nudity in many, many shows. Nip Tuck never shows a naked female yet always shows male nudity throughout every show. On HBO, Tell Me You Love Me shows male full frontal always and even showed a girl giving a guy a hand job and showed him cum in a very graphic scene.

Popular mainstream movies like Borat, 28 days Later, Into the Wild, The Last King of Scotland, all the Jackass movies, Kinsey, Shadowboxer, Boogie Nights, Euro Trip, Walk Hard- The Dewey Cox Story all show male full frontal. Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the new Harold and Kumar movie show constant graphic full frontal male nudity. Why do these movies get an R-rating when you show a dick, but you can’t show pussy. Don’t compare a breast to a penis.
This was in response to 3 female questions about why movies never show Male nudity.


you sound very upset about this.

If you’re that desperate for pussy, i suggest you go watch some porn.

Steven B | Apr 09, 2008


I want to watch what ever your watching. I haven’t seen any Penis shots. I see silhouettes or hands over them but, never the actual thing. I have only seen one movie that showed and it wasn’t a real one. Boogie Nights. I see more women parts in movies.
richiesambora1fan | Apr 09, 2008


Dude, chill out. Have a cigarette. Watch Basic Instinct and just relax. (It shows sharon Stone’s bits and pieces, but you could still argue that they never show female anatomy. She’s more like a preying mantis…)
Fangthane | Apr 09, 2008


Couldnt have said it better myself.
There seems to be some bias going on.
Even the news channels like cnn international used to show male nudity back in the 90s.
i dont know whats going and its quite disturbing to say the least. i was appalled when i saw it in 28 days later and also in the movies you mentioned. its blatanly shown for the whole world to see.lol yet when show girls showed alot of boobs it was given the MA 17.
one would assume a bleeding heart feminist is in charge of the censoring board.
Alot of people arent bothered by this troubling trend but they need to realise that censorship is important no matter the gender.
Ahmad | Apr 09, 2008


Oh my gosh; I can’t believe someone is ranting about this. It’s such an odd thing to rant about considering there are plenty of porn movies available for you to see as much of that as you want.

Having said that, I happen to know of one movie that quite graphically shows female full-frontal nudity: Showgirls (1995). I’m assuming you’ve seen it aleady though, considering it’s been out for several years and you have such a fixation on being able to see such things.
SunElaine | Apr 09, 2008


The English have always made smuty references to this unmentionable organ -:

The bond films had ‘pussy galore’ – ‘come lately ‘ and ‘miss funny fanny’.

Plus a smuty females in a soup called coronation street keep mentioning streaky bacon and sow’s loin meat.

Then there is ‘little britain’ who’s characters are completely obsessed with the ‘ furry cup ‘.

Maybe this ‘ lip service ‘ used by the characters is the universal language of the imagination. We, the viewers, only have to fill in the rest with our own imagination.
llireva nai | Apr 09, 2008


They don’t show dicks in movies, I have seen a lot of movies and I yet to see one penis in it. All i ever see is womens ass and breasts so i don’t know what type of garbage your watching but maybe your watching soft porn and you don’t realize it. I will compare breasts to a dick cos its the same thing breasts are a private area just like a vagina is , vagina, breasts-woman privates, dicks, man-private.
