This question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

What are some examples of word choice that convey the setting in Doris Lessing's short story "Through the Tunnel"?

Some examples of word choice that convey the setting in "Through the Tunnel" are:

"rocks lay like discolored monsters under the surface"

"hot roughness of it under his thighs"

"inlets of rough, sharp rock"

"irregular, dark gap; but he could not see deep into it"

"anchor of stone"

Explanation:

The story "Through the Tunnel" by Doris Lessing is set at the seaside of what is probably a foreign country. The author's word choice is quite an interesting one, establishing not only the setting but also the mood. Let's take a look at some examples:

"rocks lay like discolored monsters under the surface"

"hot roughness of it under his thighs"

"inlets of rough, sharp rock"

"irregular, dark gap; but he could not see deep into it"

"anchor of stone"

When we take a closer look at the highlighted words in the lines above, we see they not only describe the setting (the tunnel, the rocks, and so on), but they also convey a feeling of foreboding. It's as if the author wants to warn us that something difficult, maybe even sinister, lies ahead in the story.

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)
