My Review of the Literature I Read:

This week I was able to read Grendel by John Gardner. This is a retelling to the Beowulf story in which Grendel, the monstrous villain, becomes the antihero. Gardner takes and interesting perspective on this tale, actually giving Grendel more of a back story as well as chance for the reader to actually feel sympathy for his plight. Although this book is not new, its perspective is still highly respected as new and inventive. A challenge to readers and writers alike with this insightful read. Definitely worth checking out!

Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed a baby girl earlier this month. Following the tradition of most Hollywood celebs, the two named their daughter Blue Ivy Carter. The name holds significance to both mom and dad. Blue is the color most often associated with Jay-Z, i.e. all of the Blueprint albums. And well Beyonce was born Sept. 4 and Jay-Z was Dec. 4 and the two were wed on April 4. 4 is also the title of Bey’s new album. Showing that the powerhouse couple could put their creative minds to work they came up with Ivy because of the Roman numeral for 4 (IV). The proud papa also created a song for his first child. The song, “Glory”, can be heard on Jay-Z’s website LifeandTimes.com.
