Read the excerpt below and answer the question. “ . . but observe, even shouldst thou see me in the greatest danger in the world, thou must not put a hand to thy sword in my defence, unless indeed thou perceivest that those who assail me are rabble or base folk; for in that case thou mayest very properly aid me; but if they be knights it is on no account permitted or allowed thee by the laws of knighthood to me until thou hast been dubbed a knight." —don quixote in an essay of at least 150 words, explain why don quixote as a character symbolizes the conflict of tradition vs. change.

Don Quixote as a character symbolizes the conflict of tradition vs. change as he is reluctant to change; he is a character moved by traditional values and a cosmovision or a conception of the world long past its time, no longer valid or active. Don Quixote refuses to acknowledge the different context, the context where he is living and thus, he clings, he escapes to an imaginary plane where the values of knights and a world still motivated by a feudal system are in force. It's a form of escapism from a reality that he doesn´t want to recognize and that supposes a transformation of certain, traditional values.

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.
