A piece of writing. Some sort of legend. Hunger Games.

Something cool or personally interesting. An epic movie would be Harry Potter. A literary epic is a a poem of shorts from before living memory. A modern epic is not that.

Tierryn

Harry Potter is truly epic, I have to agree.

Awesome, amazing, Trump 2020. I considered Gods creation and his grace epic. The fast and furious franchise is pretty epic. A poem from beyond living memory.

Ariana Williams

I agree, the fast and furious franchise are pretty epic.

Mason Payne

Something awe inspiring. The Egyptian pyramids. G-Force (2009).

Griffin Mylan

Okay, this is epic.

Treygan Bragg

Epic movie choice

Adrian

I like the black one.

especially epic

Adrian Lima

When I hear epic I think of a satirical way to say cool. Something epic would be superhero movies. The Avenger movies are epic. A literary epic is more poetic instead of just action.

Abeni

10/7/2020 10:42:36 am

I agree

When I think of the word epic, I think of something great or grand. I would consider old battles of the 1500’s epic because of their scale and the many stories that come from them. A great example of an epic movie is Star Wars.

Adrian

10/5/2020 10:42:29 am

I like your comparison between movie epics and literary epics.

Hayley

What comes to mind when I hear the word epic is something that is super awesome that people love. Like if someone does a cool skateboard trick people might think its epic. I consider someone singing like an opera singer epic. You have to be able to hit really high notes to be an opera singer. An epic movie to me is the curious case of benjamin button. Its epic to me because he is aging backwards while everyone else is aging forwards. It is also kinda a romance movie, but I still think it's epic. Its one of my favorite movies. Literary epics can be kennings, and kennings are when you replace a word with something else that has the same meaning basically. I believe in the movie they replace words here and there with other things, but i don't exactly remember. But I don't know much of how it could relate to epics

Darian

I agree with you about doing something a person loves is epic

taija

10/5/2020 10:47:01 am

Sure.

Ariana Williams

10/5/2020 10:41:59 am

When I hear the word epic I think adventurous or exciting. I think sometimes it can be a legend or tale too. An epic movie might be The Avengers.

Jessie Hiatt

10/5/2020 10:44:25 am

Most definitely

Jaicei

10/5/2020 10:52:21 am

I also think Avengers is pretty epic.

Aubrey Gregson

10/6/2020 11:03:32 am

Darian

An adrenaline feeling. I would consider snowmobiling and rock climbing epic. The movie Mad Max fury road.

Della

10/5/2020 10:43:20 am

Totally agree

When I hear epic I think of something exciting and great. I consider amusement parks and whales to be epic. The movie Adrift is epic because so much happened that most people can’t compare to.

Ariana Williams

10/5/2020 10:43:41 am

I think amusement parks are pretty epic too.

Treygan Bragg

10/5/2020 10:44:04 am

Adrift is a very good choice of a epic movie

Preston

10/13/2020 10:57:21 am

That movie is pretty epic

Treygan Bragg

10/5/2020 10:43:07 am

Something that’s very outgoing and amazing. An epic movie would be Robots. A literary epic is a story or a poem

Mason Payne

10/5/2020 10:44:00 am

When I hear the word epic I think of The Odyssey because it is a long poem yet has a lot of action and suspense. I consider a presidential debate as epic. An epic movie would be Red 2. These are similar to literary epic because there is always an opposing force to protagonist.

I consider something that’s epic to be mind blowing and sicker than anything else or any other version of what you saw. Epic is undeniably cool and I think it relates to the literary epic because for something epic to happen, it takes time to build up and became a better version than it was before, it’s usually a very time consuming task or performance that is practiced over and over, much like a poem that takes a long time to write or is long enough to fill a whole book.

Jaicei

10/5/2020 10:53:11 am

I totally agree, nice job.

what comes to my head is a guy wearing shades. I consider a guy wearing shades epic. Men in black, there was a lot of guys in shades in that movie. Im sure theres a book out there with a guy wearing shades.

Tierryn

When thinking of the word epic, skateboarding comes into mind. I would probably consider floating down the river to be pretty epic. Thor: Ragnarok is an absolutely epic movie and by far the best Thor movie.

taija

10/5/2020 10:46:43 am

Something that is cool or amazing. I think hero movies are epic. I think an epic movie is Star Wars. A literal epic is less action less cool than something we would consider epic.

Jaicei

10/5/2020 10:50:28 am

Hearing the word epic I think of something that is cool or awesome. Something I consider epic are rollercoasters. An epic movie would be any of the Marvel Movies. Literary Epics are very similar to Marvel movies because they both involve hero’s and daring tasks.

Aubrey Gregson

When I think of epic I think of something really cool. An epic can relate to literature when something has a long of series or episodes to it and has a lot of build up.

When I hear epic I think of something awesome. When I think of a epic I think of a movie. a great example of an epic is Star Wars.

Preston

10/13/2020 10:57:01 am

Anything that is really cool or fascinating. I consider lasting sports moments epic and “epic” views. Star Wars is an epic movie series.

That's so epic, brah!
