Some interesting things to me are the fact that some of our words come from the Anglo-Saxons, for example, cow, deer, and hog. Also it is interesting that our days of the week come from the Anglo-Saxons, which, came from their gods.PR1
Some things I find interesting about the Anglo-Saxons is that our days of the week come from them. For example, we get the day thursday from the god thunor. I also find it interesring that Anglo-Saxon scops could remember a whole story about someone or something and then they would tell it over and over to make that warriors name live on.
I found the names of the week and how they were named interesting. The names for them then are really close to what they are now. I also enjoyed learning about bards. They seem interesting. I would have loved to hear one in person. LS1
