 I didn't know you were able to change colors and rename the classes on canvas. I rearranged my classes moved them in order of what makes sense to me. I look at it everyday and I wished I changed it before because sometimes the icon colors are so similar (not to mention not my favorite color) that I will just click on the wrong one. It also took me awhile to memorize the numbers for the classes. It would've been easier to rename them to the name of the class instead of looking at the class code, 

   Stories source:   The Story of Beowulf by Strafford Riggs Grendel Attacks For the most part, there was a heavy emphasis on the description of the setting, especially the darkness, the trees, the fog, and the wind  This really set up for the introduction of Grendel, which would be the antagonist that Beowulf would have to fight against "The fog parted evenly, and in the wide path is made through the night, a Shadow loomed gigantic in all that was left of moonlight" In terms of the Grendel, the author first characterized it as the "Shadow" Of course, the author already knew what the creature was, but I think the usage of this name was for the readers to see from Beowulf's point of view Also, it could be for a dramatic effect that would set up for the introduction of Grendel Everything that happened within this story was of little to no action, except for the end. However, the author did a great job of vividly describing the setting and expanding on the environm...

   Stories are derived from   Dante's Divine Comedy, by Tony Kline The Minotaur and the Centaurs With the introduction, it connects to the story of the Minotaur and Theseus, which was the one who slain him and sent him to the Underworld Virgil mentioned his doom and the hero that done the deed to the Minotaur, which made the Minotaur very upset, which was a sign for Dante to descend further into the Underworld There didn't need to be an additional story that was added for the Minotaur, which made a special appearance laying on the top of a gully, but that's all There were a group of centaurs seen after the descent into the 7th circle, each of them armed and racing one after the other like they would on the Earth above When questioned, Virgil said that he would only answer to Chiron, which by further research was the son of the Titan Cronus Why does this make him important? Why do they seek only him? The one that was speaking to him happened to be Nessus, but how does Virg...

   Stories below are derived from   Dante's Divine Comedy, by Tony Kline Dante and Virgil Very good introduction, the author is either talking to himself or directly to the reader. He tells of how lost and scared he was when entering the "impenetrable" woods, creating a personal note to the reader about how fearful he was Doesn't say too much, but definitely instilled a mood for the reader to start with the rest of the story Included a character called Divine Love Will this character be introduced later? Or was this just a general idea that the readers should know about? A manifestation of a feeling or emotion as a tangible character? When Dante met Virgil, Virgil introduced himself in a very odd way. He included many names of his lineage as well as who was associated with him in the past It also seemed that Dante knew who Virgil was, and also regarded him as his "master" VIRGIL IS HIS GUIDE THROUGH HELL?? At this point, it makes a lot more sense about who D...
