Beowulf & McKay: If We Must Die
In reading Beowulf and If We Must Die, I was able to make a relation between the character Beowulf and McKay. Both men are indeed fighters and are not to fight, even under dangerous circumstances. They are both strong and courageous men who are willing to stand up to protect the lives of others. Though McKay and his people may be outnumbered while Beowulf is not even a quarter of the size of Grendel, neither will go down without a fight.
I admire both Beowulf and McKay for their bravery because they fought to secure the safety of others. Putting your own life on the line for others takes courage and must be rewarded with honor.

With some work this connection could become a good close reading.
