Read the excerpt from the interview with e. y. (yip) harburg. when i lost my possessions, i found my creativity. i felt i was being born for the first time. so for me the world became beautiful. with the crash, i realized that the greatest fantasy of all was business. the only realistic way of making a living was versifying. living off your imagination. based on the excerpt, which best describes harburg’s view of the great depression? he has no interest in financial success for himself. he values artistic success over financial success for himself. he believes most people benefited from losing their financial stability. he regrets the fact that he gave away his money to benefit his art.

He values artistic success over financial success for himself.

Explanation: In this excerpt Harburg describes how after he lost all his possessions because of the crisis, he discovered his creativity and imagination and he had to make a living from those things, and that, for him was incredible because he began to see the beauty in the world, that is why he values more his artistic success than the possessions he lost and his financial success.

im not to sure

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
