The Bean Eaters BY Gwendolyn Brooks They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair.
Dinner is a casual affair.
Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood,
Tin flatware.
Two who are Mostly Good.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away.
And remembering ...
Remembering, with twinklings and twinges,
As they lean over the beans in their rented back room that
is full of beads and receipts and dolls and cloths,
tobacco crumbs, vases and fringes.
After reading The Bean Eaters, please respond to the following questions.

1. The poem presents a picture of two old people who are poor. Give at least two examples from the poem that show this.

2. These two "have lived their day" (line 6). What do you think is the meaning of this line?

3. The old couple remember their past "with twinklings and twinges" (line 10). What do these words tell the reader about the kind of memories they have?

4. The speaker of the poem says this couple is "Mostly good." How do you think the speaker feels toward them? Is the speaker suggesting they deserve something better than their poverty? Defend your response. This is an opinion question. Take a guess.

"freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

the four freedoms were goals articulated by united states president franklin d. roosevelt on january 6, 1941"

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.
