Which of these is a major theme of the poem "ozymandias" by percy shelley? question 12 options: the past is irrelevant. power and fame are fleeting. man is destroying nature. people can live on after their deaths through poetry that is created about them.

If you think about it, this is what has happened to Ozymandias.  He was so powerful in his day, but now his statues have fallen and no one knows his name.  What was once his empire is now a backwater -- an "antique land."  Everything that he worked for and accomplished has been forgotten -- his efforts were pointless.

The poem is implying that all of human life is like that. Nothing we do will last... the answer is "A. The past is irrelevant"

I hope this is the answer  

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
