Graham's Beowulf Argument Paragraph
It seems that Beowulf is more than just an incredible warrior, whose fame has reached all corners of the known world. To some you could say he is Christ like in his manner. Immutable he may seem. Savior to some, some more than others. Beowulf came to faraway lands not just for fun or for fame, or for even wealth for that matter. It was his good heart that led to where danger and wrong doings were taking part. For one instance in the book is when he travels across the sea with a ship of men to help the king of Danes in ridding themselves of Grendel. Beowulf helped their king, and with many others he aided soldiers, kings, in war and in troubled times. It seems that some people over look the fact that he could be called one of the greatest peace keepers ever.

Graham,
Your voice as a writer comes out clearly in this piece; it is professional yet uniquely you the way it sounds. Explain how he's immutable as a character. I think you have really unique argument you present at the end about him being a peace keeper. I would present argument strong up front at the beginning of the paragraph and then connect your ideas/supporting details in the body of the paragraph more strongly to that idea of people using power only for peace; Christlike is one word;
Add another vocabulary word from the list into the paragraph.
