What do you think is the effect of describing Beowulf's fight against Grendel from the monster's point of view?

He is only after glory and will do anything to get it.

That is a way to look at it. Or ,Maybe, before answering, you should just notice that this guy switched Beowulf and Grendel and I'm pretty sure it was meant as a joke ;)

...But in the movie Grendel is portrayed as more human which provides some sympathy from the audience for the character and makes Beowolf look brutal. In certain passages in the book, in my opinion, this can also be seen.

Where is the website goes Bella onto in twilight about the quileute legends?

BEST ANSWER: All websites that Bella visits were created specifically for the movie, and never actually posted to the internet. For example, the website for the Apotamkin (Continuity: on the website Bella visits, it's spelled Apotampkin), with the web address along the lines of http://www.freezersangel.com/XYZ/sdavd/a... or the Rock and Roll website above that search result, with the web address of http://www.rockandroll475.com/title/them... neither of those exist.

Visual Effects will often create an HTML file on the computer to give the appearance of visiting the website. You'll also notice that on an image heavy site such as Apotamkin's, the page loads instantatiously - leading one to believe that the HTML file and images are saved on the computer.

However, there are some pretty interesting articles out there about Apotamkin, which is a mythical god. Twilight: The Movie

Which animals can vampires turn into?

I don't know about ALL vampires but the vampire Count Vlad Dracula specifically can turn into a bat, and a wolf, and (this isn't an animal but whatever) a mist. Actually I watched this one movie, Dracula, and I MUST say that this is what it had to be simply because its unmistakeably, I don't quite understand what the hell exactly the filmmakers were trying to portray here but the creature the vampire turned into too looked a lot like a werewolf. In the movie Van Helsing... Dracula turns into a demonic gargoyle typle monster. The legends, tales and folklore speak about vampire-bats as the most common shape shifting for a vampire. Changing into another creatures is rarely mentioned but can be found occasionally, such as a plague of rats, a half man half bat, a white stag, are among a few to be mentioned.

How do you tame a werewolf?

Well, really, it's all in the mind. Trying to controll the werewolf in you may seem impossible especially when your angry or enraged but you need to train your mind to take you somewhere else. If you are craving blood or flesh, just go to a meat store, I've seen many diffrent raw meats and animal blood in small containers, that may help. If you have an urge to be in the forest, go hiking, walking or hunting in the forest. Again, it's all in the mind you just need to learn when it's a good idea to control yourself and when it's not. Hope i helped

Are there any Brazilian fairy tales?

Yes, there are... I guess...I'm a Brazilian but can't recall if there are any specific Brazilian fairytales, but there are many kinds of beliefs and stories. I wouldn't know if they could be classified as fairytales. Fairytales often involve royalty, and modern versions usually have a happy ending. But we have some interesting folkloric stories:

Sací-Pererê

He was a little black boy, really really naughty, who can do magic, turn into whirlwind, likes to hide others people's things, play with the horse's hair, scare the people, and plays a lot of other pranks. The description of Saci is that he is a little black boy with a single leg and wearing a kind of red hat (where Saci's magic came from) and is always smoking. According to legend, there is a way to capture the Saci and that is when he is a whirlwind. One must get a bolter and place that on the whirlwind, then capture the Saci and put him in a bottle. A person can then tell him to make things for him.

Boto

The boto is a kind of dolphin which lives in the rivers, but in Brazilian folklore there is also another story. The boto at night becomes a man -- a ladies' man -- who is a good dancer, and sometimes get the women pregnant. He always wears a hat to hide a hole on his head through which he breaths.

Mula-sem-Cabeça

"The Headless-Mule". As the name says it is a headless mule, and on the place where the head was supposed to be there is fire. She kills whoever she finds and her neighs are heard over big distances. The story goes that the Headless-Mule is a cursed woman who had an affair with a priest.

Is the yowie real?

Yes it is to the people who believe in it. However, the name yowie may be a mispronunciation of yuurii. To some Aboriginal people in western New South Wales (Australia) the yuurii are little people, very muscular and hairy, who coexist with Aboriginal people though they are hidden to non-believers. They have their own social structure and retain a lot of the magic powers that ordinary people have forgotten, though clevermen, and -women, can consult them. They only interfere with normal human life if they think these people are acting inappropriately, though occasionally a mischievous individual may play tricks on humans. The word yowie is used by the indigenous people of the Sydney region to describe someone's death-spirit (ghost doesn't quite fit) and may have been taken to the interior by early European settlers who misunderstood its meaning and used it to describe a creature known to Aboriginals there (who would have spoken a different language/dialect). This happens a lot when cultures collide and so yowie is now an almost generic term. What is now called the yowie is a larger creature, but also hairy and strong, who disturbs people it doesn't like. Indigenous Australians have many terms for little people and bigger creatures, some harmful, others not.
