Answer from: Daniah2206

Gardner chooses to not name Beowulf because the name is not suited for him and does not relate to Gardner.

Answer from: BilliePaul95

Beowulf is never name by Gardner to emphasize he does not belong to Hrothgar's society.

Explanation:

Being unnamed, Beowulf has a halo of mystery and sparkles the reader’s curiosity about him. He is a Geatish warrior coming across the sea, so he remains an outsider even when he defeats Grendel. By using a nameless hero, Gardner is also preventing the reader from attaching him to the Danish society. It is said that Beowulf’s name precedes him so Hrothgar and his people already know him. Thus, his impressive deeds are far more important than his name.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
