Answer from: Geo777

Nobody was to be actually watching God or living thinking about god. Everyone believed that life was as it should be, and God was on their side.

Janies second husband Joe, set himself up as the “god” of the town. The other people of the town treated him as a person to admire and stay on the right side of, even when they were jealous of his success and position in the town. Only Janie questions him.

God could also be people's self interest. That seemed to also be something people kept an eye on. Joe's god was social standing and the respect and awe of his fellow townspeople. Janie's god was her freedom. Everyone else's god was feeling themselves to be better than others among their acquaintances.

When Janie moved to the Everglades and encountered Mrs Turner, her “god” was being white. This is a more subtle theme elsewhere in the book, but Mrs Tuner's worship amplifies it - the notion that black people should be aiming to be white in order to feel respected.

When the hurricane comes to the Everglades, those who didn't leave in time finally realise that there is no point in looking to white people or each other for the answers, they can only hope in God.

The quote when the hurricane occurred "They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God" they finally realized that nothing they could do would match the power of what God could do.

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)

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
