Read the excerpt from “remarks by the president on osama bin laden.” we must—and we will—remain vigilant at home and abroad. as we do, we must also reaffirm that the united states is not—and never will be—at war with islam. i’ve made clear, just as president bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against islam. bin laden was not a muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of muslims. indeed, al qaeda has slaughtered scores of muslims in many countries, including our own. so his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity. in the excerpt, obama refers to a statement president george bush made following the 9/11 attacks. which option best explains obama’s purpose for using allusion as a rhetorical feature in the excerpt?

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
