Because in Nordic mythology, Grendel is a figure that is similar to humans it's just that it's bigger and looks like a monster.

Grendel is a humanoid, ogre or troll monster, a giant goblin, which has lived since the past. Grendels usually come out of their nests at night and kill their prey when they are asleep. Grendel likes to kill and eat human flesh and drink their blood. Grendel continues to kill and prey on the people of Hrothgar for twelve years.

In the end, Beowulf managed to kill Grendel's mother with a sword found by a giant. Beowulf decapitated Grendel's mother.

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."
