The feature of Anglo-Saxon culture that is described in this excerpt is the cup-bearer.

Although men played the dominant role in the Anglo-Saxon society, in Beowulf women are presented as playing different roles. One of these functions was being the cup-bearer, that is, being in charge of passing alcoholic drinks, such as beer, around the men since in Anglo-Saxon society, women were the only ones authorized to serve alcohol. This is shown in a clear way in the excerpt when the Helming woman, who is also the Danish queen and Hrothgar’s wife, offers the goblet, a drinking cup, to all ranks.

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.
