Route 66
adapted from the National Park Service
US Highway 66—popularly known as Route 66—holds a special place in American consciousness. Its name provides images of simpler times, small businesses, and the icons of a mobile nation on the road. Travelers on Highway 66 today can easily experience this past through the many motels, gas stations, cafés, trading posts, and roadbeds that remain along the highway.
Route 66 had its official beginnings in 1926, when the nation's first federal highway system was launched. The highway quickly became a popular route because of active promotion and advertisements. It was sold as "the shortest, best, and most scenic route from Chicago through St. Louis to Los Angeles."
Business owners in small and large towns along the highway looked to Route 66 as an opportunity for attracting new customers to their often rural and isolated communities. Even through tough times, the road helped promote economic opportunities by allowing people to travel to different places for work and by providing employment at the commercial centers along it.
In 2008, the significance of Route 66 and the importance of preserving it were again recognized when Route 66 was listed on the "Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites." The spirit of Route 66 lives in the people and their stories, the views and buildings, and travelers' perceptions of the highway.

In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift, which important issue does the writer deal with using a satirical tone? some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. and as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. they cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come. a. old, sickly people cannot be hired as laborers because they don't have the physical stamina required for the job. b. old, sickly people and young laborers are useless to the nation because they cannot be productive citizens. c. the economy of the nation is burdened by the poor, the old, and the sickly who survive on charity and handouts. d. the living conditions of the poor and their lack of employment opportunities are serious concerns for the nation. reset next
