Which modernist idea does this excerpt from james joyce's a portrait of the artist as a young man most closely reflect? "i will tell you what i will do and what i will not do. i will not serve that in which i no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and i will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as i can and as wholly as i can, using for my defense the only arms i allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning." a. the rebellion against traditional values b. the lack of hope in the future of humanity c. the futility of armed conflict d. the difficulty of finding meaning in the modern world

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)

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
