Why should college students read Beowulf in a World Literature class?

sharksocce

This is for an assignment where i have to act like the teacher and assign book for students to read in a World Literature class.
I was wondering if there were any specific reasons that anyone has for reading Beowulf

Answer
Probably because it is hailed as one of THE best examples of old English literature without which the English language would not be what it is today and interesting ideas my come up when reading what is written today and what was back then.

I think that's the only reason why :)
