Explanation:
The epic narrative poem "Beowulf" is a famous legendary story of how the hero Beowulf defeated Grendel and his mother and then also fought a dragon to save his people.
John Gardner re-wrote the epic poem from Grendel's perspective, giving readers a different side of the story.
1. Both Beowulf and Grendel are stories that tell the tales of Grendel's encounters with humans.
2. But the passage from Beowulf provided a more vicious version of Grendel than the way John Gardner did.
3. In Grendel, John Gardner used the first person point of view to help readers see Grendel's side of the all too familiar story.
