Question 4(5 points) (LC)
Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:
Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel
Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted
in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this
way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstem pass
the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters
were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Gilbert's play makes
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet.

Explanation:

The author of this passage is describing different theatrical adaptations of Shakespeare's characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

In a theatrical adaptation, material from another work is rewritten and turned into a play or musical. Usually, material from another medium (e.g. novel or movie) is adapted to meet the requirements of the theatre, but theatrical adaptations can be based on other plays as well. The adaptations described here are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern by W. S. Gilbert.

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.
