In this podcast Fiona, Bella, and Navia explore the many struggles Grendel faces due to his isolation from the outside world while connecting it to a parents choice to isolate their children from technology.
Briana Mendez and Ariana Portuguez discuss the idea of morality and justice in both the Mere Wife and Beowulf, investigating the role morals play in how we react to different situations in the real world.
In this podcast, Julia, Bella, Cailey, and Teagan take their listener through various hierarchies present in The Mere Wife by Maria Headley, Grendel by John Gardner, and Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney. In order to bring this information into a modern-day setting, Julia, Bella, Cailey, and Teagan ask high school students for their perspectives on structures within their own lives.
Episode 03. In this episode, I discuss mental health in John Gardner’s novel “Grendel” and how the main character is affected by negative stigmatization. Special guest, Rebecca Saleh, speaks about negative stigma in media—and further how it affects those struggling with mental health issues.
In this podcast we discuss fear and how overcoming it is not always the best option. As a society we have to learn to be more accepting of people who are fearful, and we should see how strong they actually are for choosing to live with fear rather than force themselves to over come it.
Brendan, Anderson, and Parker discuss and debate important topics of our novel, A Study in Scarlett, including character development, character complexity, and themes of the book. We hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out.
