Which excerpt from black boy best illustrates the effect that society has on wright’s father?

my mother warned me not to be fooled by my father’s friendly manner; she told me that the judge might ask me questions, and if he did i must tell him the truth.

back at home my mother wept again and talked complainingly about the unfairness of the judge who had accepted my father’s word.

finally we could no longer pay the rent for our dingy flat; the few dollars that granny had left us before she went home were gone.

from the white landowners above him there had not been handed to him a chance to learn the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment, of tradition.

From the white landowners above him there had not been handed to him a chance to learn the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment, of tradition.

This excerpt illustrates the effect that society has had on Wright's father. The author argues that the father's shortcomings were also due to the power structure that dominated his life. The white landowners that were "above" him never taught him the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment and of tradition. This implies that the decisions he has made in his life were shaped by the lack of understanding of these topics.

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.
