    George F. Walker once wrote, “Emotion is apt to be mistaken for weakness and weakness is an invitation to manipulate.” (Walker, 38). Likewise, the Shaper is able to bring out intense emotions in the Danes through his art and use those emotions to manipulate them into constructing a common, coherent, and uplifting value system. Having seen the past that the Shaper glorified, Grendel is horrified by sheer power of the Shaper’s poetry and feels weak when he realizes that he too is being manipulated into believing the Shaper’s lies. When Grendel first hears the Shaper’s song, he is so overcome with emotion that he bursts into tears, momentarily loses his ability to speak and could not help but flee, “thus I fled, ridiculous hairy creature torn apart by poetry—crawling, whimpering, streaming tears, across the world like a two-headed beast, like mixed-up lamb and kid at the tail of a baffled, indifferent ewe—and I gnashed my teeth and clutched the sides of my head as if to heal the split, but I couldn’t.” (Gardner, 44). Because of the Shaper, Grendel is split between his stone cold rationality and his newfound confusing web of emotions and attachment to art. The Shaper’s ability to transform Grendel from a self-conscious, articulate creature, into a primal, emotional and childlike monster is a vivid example of how powerful the Shaper really is. Even though Grendel knows that the value system the Shaper has created is based on exaggerations and lies, he sees the pride, peace, and beauty brought forth by it. He understands that in the end, these morals and ethics won’t mean anything, but cannot ignore the bliss that the humans experience since they simply believe what they are told and do not raise questions.…

    I gained awards in the Armed Forces; the Silver Medal of Military Valor and the Bronze Star in the United States Armed Forces. These two medals are something I am actually happy about to have in my possession for my bravery and commitment. I have awards for being the reporter I was in my early years. I have awards in Literature such as the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize. (Shmoop) I have done many things in my life, but I am best known for my writing. Perhaps my work, The Old Man and the Sea is what I am best known for. This story uses my “Iceberg Effect” style of writing and intertwines the theme of depression and loss. Not far behind I would say, is my romance novel, A Farewell To Arms. This story was truly difficult. It was heartbreaking to write. Along with novels, I have written many short stories that are well known. I am glad to be able to say that I am not just an author, but one that is known for accomplishing more than one thing in life (Encyclopedia of World…
