Discussion: What Makes a Classic
In the previous lesson, titled Thinking Together, you spent some time learning about collaborative
discussions and how they can help you understand and appreciate great literature. You'll put your
new knowledge to work in this discussion as you and your classmates consider what makes Roll of
Thunder, Hear My Cry a classic young adult novel.
Look back at your journal entry for the lesson Thinking Together. You should have written lots of
questions about the novel--its characters, its plot, and possible themes. You should have written
some possible answers to your questions as well.
Select one of your questions to present to your classmates in a discussion post. In your post, provide
enough background information to make sure readers will understand your question, and suggest
your own answer.
Finally, respond to the posts of at least two other students. Answer the questions the pose, and
explain why you think your answers are correct or valid. (For each of your answers, provide evidence
from the novel.)

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)

in our power to make a world happy - to teach mankind the art of being so - to a character hitherto unknown - and to have, as it were, a new creation intrusted to our hands, are honors that command reflection, and can neither be too highly estimated,
