Read the excerpt from Obama's Second Inaugural Address. This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our

resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. What is President Obama’s purpose in this section of the speech? to inform the American people about his plans for the future of the country to highlight to the American people the importance of personal success to inspire the American people to collectively work toward a better future to show the American people that success is more fulfilling as a group

The purpose of President Obama in this section of teh speech is to inspire people to collectively work hard toward a better future. Option C is correct.

In this speech, Obama contrasts the tough past they endured facing difficulties they had to resolved by proving themselves resilient; to the present which shows a slightly recovery which will advance if all Americans join their efforts and work together for the improvement of their country.

"My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together."

What can you infer about the speaker's feelings toward her father? why doesn't she try to intervene in the conflict between her
hodyreva [135]

This poem written by Diane Glancy, reflects her Native American heritage. Her father, a Cherokee man is the main character for the poem. She portrays the conflict between his native american identity and the westernized world in which he lives.  The author implies that despite living disconnected from his traditions and working packing meat, her father remains Cherokee.

The author's feelings towards her father seem to be of love, respect and sadness. I find the poem nostalgic, and there seems to be a sense of being out of place in this world.

The conflict between her parents seems to fit the idea of the poem. Her father brings home hide and horns from work (representing his heritage), and her (western) mother rejects this. The author is just an observer in this poem.

The hide and horns are important, since some native americans relied heavily on the hide, meat and everything else provided by buffalos, which is also a theme in the poem.

How is this excerpt from Walden by Henry David Thoreau representative of romantic ideals?
Katarina [22]

The correct answer is D) It describes how individualism and imagination help man appreciate nature.


For Romanticists, nature was the most important thing. They felt at home in nature, and their feelings often mirrored the state in nature at that particular moment. Nature was their escape from the society that stifled them and their imagination. This is why they turned to nature, escaping from everything and everyone, and learning how to live on their own.

zimovet [89]
Denise Levertov (1923-1997) was an American poet and anti-war activist. <span>She felt it was part of her calling to point out the injustice of the </span>Vietnam War<span>, and she read some of her poems at the protest rallies in which she took part. The two poems mentioned here touch on the circumstances of the war in South East Asia that the USA was involved in at the time</span>. In "Overhead in Southeast Asia" she wrote:

<span>"White phosphorus, white phosphorus, mechanical snow, where are you falling?" "I am falling impartially on roads and roofs, on bamboo thickets, on people." 

This was a powerful indictment on the atrocities of chemical warfare. In the other poem, "Life at War" she described the human tragedy in a similar way.

"The disasters numb within us, caught in the chest, rolling in the brain like pebbles. the feeling resembles lumps of raw dough..."

Levertov spread her anti-war message through her literary work. After reading her poems we cannot escape her powerful message that the conflict was both horrific and futile.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

A. The workshop was not a pleasant environment for the children.

Explanation:

<u>The given passage is taken from "Iqbal: A Novel" written by Francesco D'Adamo. </u>

The novel is a true story about a thirteen-year-old boy named Iqbal Masih. Iqbal was a slave child in a loom factory where he with other children were treated harshly by their owners.

The setting is Lahore, Pakistan. Iqbal, after arriving at the factory of Hussain Khan, gives hope to other children that they can attain their freedom only if they will not give up.

The passage given describes the working condition of the home factory. Words such as 'filthy curtain', 'chained to their looms' tell us that the environment was dirty and children were usually chained to their looms.

So, the correct answer is the first Option.
