The Overview Effect by R. Lee Walters

7

Which of the statements below describes a theme from the poem?

A. Dragons are mystical beings that symbolize awe.

B. Human achievement will help society to persevere.

Before dawn the silent pines

Erupt like bated breath. Lift

off. The cedars rattle,

Vostok's capsule clambers

Up the tall victory column.

Somewhere above soft cover

An amber dragon bays chase.

Gagarin in his brave headdress,

leaps first over the damp wall

of a pale, purple prison.

C. Feelings of dread can force people to achieve less.

D. Space travel will allow humans to reach world peace.

experienced by a person looking

down on the Earth from space.

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.
