	What were some of the Celts´contributions for the formation of the English country?
		
	
	The Celts contributed for the growth of literature and arts in the early development of the English. They knew how to play different musical instruments and could paint and make beautiful pottery.
	
	The Celts were great warriors, could build perfect ships, and were literate men.
	 
	They were politically organized, their women were very good at cooking and planting and they were faithful to one God.
	
	They were very good at dealing with social matters so they could easily live in piece in their communities. The men could have several wives and they were also very good at conquering new land.
	 
	The Celts were not only technically advanced but also they knew how to work with iron, and could make better weapons than the people who used bronze.

	 Fórum de Dúvidas (0)       Saiba  (0)
	
	During the Anglo-Saxon period, how were the poems written down?
		
	
	Poems were not written down at that time. People would memorize them and tell their relatives so that they would also keep them in their minds. That´s why we do not have any register of them.
	 
	As the printing machine was invented during this period of time, the author of the poems would ask permission to have it printed.
	
	In fact, poems were not typical of the Anglo-Saxon Period. They date from the Middle Ages.
	
	As paper was not yet available at that time, they would draw images on stones to represent the sentences of a poem.
	 
	As ordinary people did not know how to read and write during the Anglo-Saxon period, anyone who 'created' a poem would ask the monks , in the monasteries, to write them down for them, since the monks, as religious people, were the only ones who could read and write at that time.

	For many students of the medieval era, social history is the most fascinating area of study. Understanding what people wore and ate, what their dwellings were like, how they made a living or entertained themselves, the artwork they produced and the literature they wrote, their technological development and what they believed in all bring the scholar closer to the Middle Ages. (About.com)
However we should also have in mind that they also had their fears. Throughout the poem Beowulf, how is this fear evident?
		
	
	In the poem we can feel that they were very much concerned with technological development so as to protect them from diseases.
	
	In Beowulf, we easily notice that they were afraid of monsters, sea-demons and vampires.
	 
	Throughout Beowulf the constant fear of invasion that plagued Scandinavian society is evident.
	 
	Throughout Beowulf the concern with the catholic religion is evident. They were afraid of being punished by God.
	
	Throughout the poem, we notice that there was a real concern with the Mead-Halls because they were seen as sanctuaries, and their great fear was not to be admitted into the Mead-Halls.

	For many students of the medieval era, social history is the most fascinating area of study. Understanding what people wore and ate, what their dwellings were like, how they made a living or entertained themselves, the artwork they produced and the literature they wrote, their technological development and what they believed in all bring the scholar closer to the Middle Ages. (About.com)

	During the Anglo-Saxon period, how were the poems written down?
		
	 
	As ordinary people did not know how to read and write during the Anglo-Saxon period, anyone who 'created' a poem would ask the monks , in the monasteries, to write them down for them, since the monks, as religious people, were the only ones who could read and write at that time.
	
	Poems were not written down at that time. People would memorize them and tell their relatives so that they would also keep them in their minds. That´s why we do not have any register of them.
	
	As paper was not yet available at that time, they would draw images on stones to represent the sentences of a poem.
	 
	In fact, poems were not typical of the Anglo-Saxon Period. They date from the Middle Ages.
	
	As the printing machine was invented during this period of time, the author of the poems would ask permission to have it printed.
