Write a focused open response paragraph (10+ sentences) with supporting evidence about one of the following topics in chapters 11 and 12.
* the significance of Aquarius, the water bearer in Grendel
* the significance of Pisces, the fishes in Grendel
* Grendel's reasons for feeling "mad" "joy" (this is related to Grendel's statement "tedium" is the worst pain in chapter 10 and to the dragon's advice "find gold and sit on it" and to Grendel seeing existence as meaningless--and therefore a coffin or trap)
* the significance of the similarities and differences between the stranger and the dragon (The similarities are physical ones perceived by Grendel; the differences are related to values and purpose. This question gets to the heart of the meaning of the book.)
