"I assert most unhesitatingly,that the religion of the south is a mere covering for the most horrid crimes--a justifier of the most appalling barbarity,--a sanctifier of the most hateful frauds--and a dark shelter under,which the darkest,foulest,grossest,and most infernal deeds of slaveholders find the strongest of protection. Were I too be again reduced to the chains of slavery,next to enslavement,I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that could befall onto me. For of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met,religious slaveholders are the worst and most cruel. I have ever found them the meanest and basest,the most cruel and cowardly, of all others." (chapter 10 page 19)

Truth: Douglass got in some trouble for attacking the hypocrisy of Christians in the South,but he never once backed away from that attack. Since his friends in the abolitionist movement were also Christians some of them thought he was attacking them instead of just the religious impostors. This passage tries to clarify this issue and is explaining that his harsh criticism was not of all religion, but only for slave owners who pretended to be Christians and since it was impossible to be a true Christian and also own slaves. (In fact,he wrote the entire appendix just to explain that he was against hypocrites,not just the religion itself.)

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Read the excerpt from the land. in the late afternoon i did the same, but all the time i was on the stallion, i was aware that mitchell was watching me. he had appeared on the edge of the woods and had just stood there watching ghost wind and me as we went round and round the meadow. finally, on one of our turns past him, he said: "s'pose you thinkin' you a real somebody 'cause you can ride that stallion." i looked down at mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. now, i don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing i did. maybe i was feeling guilty that because i was my daddy's son, i could ride ghost wind. maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear i said what i said. i no longer was afraid of mitchell. "you want to ride him? " i asked. mitchell took a step backward. it was obvious he hadn't expected me to say that. "you know i can't ride him," he said. "your white daddy'd kill me." "you want to ride him? " i asked again. mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. "so, what if i do? " what intrinsic motivation does the author most likely intend the reader to infer from the passage? paul is motivated by his need to have mitchell praise his riding skills. mitchell is motivated by his need to have paul praise his riding skills. paul is motivated by jealousy and wishes he had free time like mitchell. mitchell is motivated by jealousy and wishes he could ride the horse.
