what is grendel's perspective on the people he
observes?
now and then some trivial argument would break out,
and one of them would kill another one, and all the
others would detach themselves from the killer as neatly
as blood clotting, and they'd consider the case and they'd
either excuse him, for some reason, or else send him out
to the forest to live by stealing from their outlying pens
like a wounded fox. at times i would try to befriend the
exile, at other times i would try to ignore him, but they
were treacherous. in the end, i had to eat them.
-grendel

he thinks they are weak and amusing.
he thinks they are brave and honorable.
he thinks they are friendly and caring.
he thinks they are violent and untrustworthy.

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.
