In Shelley's poem Ozymandias statue has the inscription, "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair" yet there is nothing but sand and ruins. How much control do we have over how we are remembered in the future? What could Ozymandias have done while he lived that might've helped towards the preservation of his statue?

Answer and Explanation:

1. The poem shows that we have no control over how we will be remembered in the future. This is because Ozymandias wanted to be remembered with grandeur and ostentation that he possessed when he was alive, however, his statue makes him remembered as a boastful and unimportant, since both the sculpture and the surrounding environment are in ruins.

2. To preserve the statute, Ozymandias could have commissioned the sculpture with a more durable material and provided something that would protect it from environmental aggressions.

brainlest me plz

explanation:

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.
