we promised in the hall the lord of us all
who gave us these ring-treasures, that this battle-equipment,
swords and helmets, we’d certainly quite him,
should need of such aid ever befall him:
how we have forfeited our liegelord’s confidence!
in the war-band he chose us for this journey spontaneously,
stirred us to glory and gave me these jewels,
since he held and esteemed us trust-worthy spearmen,
hardy helm-bearers, though this hero-achievement
our lord intended alone to accomplish,
ward of his people, for most of achievements,
doings audacious, he did among earth-folk.
our lord is in sore need of us.
the day is now come when the ruler of earthmen
needeth the vigor of valiant heroes:
let us wend us towards him, the war-prince to succor,
while the heat yet rageth, horrible fire-fight.”

through the bale-smoke he stalked then,
went under helmet to the of his chieftain,
briefly discoursing: “beowulf dear,
perform thou all fully, as thou formerly saidst,
in thy youthful years, that while yet thou livedst
thou wouldst let thine honor not ever be lessened.
thy life thou shalt save, mighty in actions,
atheling undaunted, with all of thy vigor;
he monster advances on them.
i’ll give thee assistance.”

Read this excerpt from “what i hope to leave behind.” for a number of years it took so much vitality to keep the home going, and that home represented so many different kinds of activities, that none of us had any urge to go outside of this sphere. if “what i hope to leave behind” was the subject of a class discussion, why might paraphrasing this sentence be ? you could analyze the key themes while also staying true to the original language. you could summarize the key ideas, which would shorten the length of the excerpt. you could use your own ideas and concepts, which would add important information. you could rephrase it in your own words, which might clarify the meaning of the excerpt.
