"Analyze how the interactions between Hundert and The Bells develop a central idea in The Palace Thief by Ethan Canin." Introduction

Broad Idea/Hook (Do we ever really know anyone? Do we ever know ourselves? How are our true selves revealed?)

Bridge (Introduce the work and the main character being talked about…"In the novel, The Palace Thief, the Central Idea of Character is explored through the narrator, Hundert, and his interactions with those around him."

Brief summary (write a short overview of the Character of Hundert so far; literally one or two sentences. You may pull a quote here for effect if you like, but not needed).

THESIS (I have done this for you; when we return from break, you will be expected to create these on your own.)

The exploration of the central idea of Character is developed through Hundert’s interactions with Sedgewick as a student, Senator Bell, and Sedgewick as a man.

it's my first quest

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)

a question like this requires the excerpt to be included in order to answer the question.

explanation:

ward, and charles cooley, felt that social conflict was a process that should be in exploring social processes and social problems. conflict as a functional social process."
