I just have a question about the Beowulf Project(I thought it would be convient because I'm pretty sure this is a common question). In the rubric, it says that we can find heros in literature. Well, what if the hero is fictious? I have a book, and the main-character is an abstract being with no picture what so ever. Can I just take a picture of the book?
ReplyDeleteI'd rather you not. Lets focus on human characters. Thanks for asking.
