Nterpret the metaphor that Mann uses on line 89 ("constellations of suburban hamlets and hunting camps") and the simile he uses in lines 98–99 ("like affluent snowbirds alternating between Manhattan and Miami"). Explain what is being compared and what effect the comparison has on their understanding of the topic.

A) the word Constellation is mostly used in reference to a cluster of stars. Most times Astrologists create a pattern from these clusters and name the pattern of a mythical being.

When Charles Mann makes the statement  on line 89 about constellations of suburban hamlets and hunting camps he is referring to the New England nomads who evolving into Hunters and Gatherers had now begun to settle in clusters of settlements along with New  England’s major river  valleys, by contrast, held  large, permanent villages.

B) "like affluent snowbirds alternating between Manhattan and Miami"

There is a small North American Bird traditionally called Junco but also known as Snowbirds. During winter, they flock together in numbers anywhere between 15 and 25, migrating more temperate locations of the American outback to every space possible in the now cold US.

The simile above is, therefore, used to refer to the migratory patterns of the  Indians on the rivers and  the coastline of the Connecticut River.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

i love it
