Read this excerpt from "look homeward, angel." and whatever he touched in that rich fortress of his soul sprang into golden life: as the years passed, the fruit trees—the peach, the plum, the cherry, the apple—grew great and bent beneath their clusters. his grape vines thickened into brawny ropes of brown and coiled down the high wire fences of his lot, and hung in a dense fabric, upon his trellises, roping his domain twice around. they climbed the porch end of the house and framed the upper windows in thick bowers. and the flowers grew in rioting glory in his yard—the velvet-leaved nasturtium, slashed with a hundred tawny dyes, the rose, the snowball, the redcupped tulip, and the lily. the author uses sensory details in this excerpt to create images of excess and riches, to a suggest gant’s interest in materialism. b shades and barriers, to suggest gant’s need for privacy. c colorful sceneries, to suggest gant’s artistic aptitude. d bountiful harvests, to suggest gant’s agricultural success.

B shades and barriers, to suggest Gant’s need for privacy

Explanation:

Gant is a teenager who seems to feel smothered by the environment - in fact, he has to help his mother run a boarding house- . He has not got much privacy. This atmosphere of oppression is illustrated by: "the peach, the plum, the cherry, the apple—grew great and bent beneath their clusters.."; "His grape vines thickened into brawny ropes of brown and coiled down the high wire fences of his lot, and hung in a dense fabric, upon his trellises.." Look at the words in italics; they create the picture of oppression and lack of space.

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.
