Beowulf says in the text that "Fate goes ever as fate must." This shows how Anglo-Saxon society highly valued fate and its mysterious ways. He knows that he might defeat Grendel, but he also knows that the reverse might happen. Beowulf is aware of the fact that not his deeds, but fate decides what is going to happen in the future. Based solely on the will of fate, Beowulf defeated Grendel, and fate decided that in the end Beowulf will be defeated by the dragon. It all depends on fate, and Anglo-Saxon people knew that.

How does Kennedy use rhetoric to advance his purpose?
allochka39001 [22]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

By the rhetoric of talk or persuasive language, Bobby Kennedy advances to the American individuals, right off the bat to the dark individuals to not look for retribution and savagery against white individuals, but instead expand sympathy and understanding and a craving to live respectively to both highly contrasting individuals.

Concerning parallelism, in a similar vein, he says that what we don't require is division, brutality and disdain yet love and sympathy so he is differentiating the two by creating them both with their outcomes in a parallel design.
