Answer:

This is the corrected text with proper punctuation:

One of my favorite parts of the trip was seeing the “Statue” of “Liberty”. I learned that it was a gift to the “United” “States” from the “French”. On another day, we met the “mayor”; his name was “Mayor” Bloomberg. Mom and “Dad” thought it was outrageous how expensive everything was. Dad said, “Next “year we’re going to “Las” Vegas”.”

Explanation:

Rules of capitalization that helped find the mistakes in the text:

* The first letter of a quotation should be capitalized as in "Next" in the text.

* Titles should not be capitalized unless followed by a name. So in the text, the word "mayor" alone should be in lowercase whereas the word mayor as in "Mayor Bloomberg" should be capitalized.

* Relatives´ family names such as Mom and Dad should be capitalized as in "Mom and Dad thought it would be..."

Why do you think the author chose to rewrite the story of Beowulf from Grendel’s point of view?
NNADVOKAT [17]
It is called the third person or the Omniscient. <span> To present Beowulf's thoughts, for instance, the narrator adopts the point of view of an omniscient author and gives us a glimpse into Beowulf's mind; or he causes Beowulf to reveal his private thoughts by having him declare them through a public utterance. In either case, a reader's attention is directed toward Beowulf. </span>
