This question is based on the following two passages.

"The liberal reforms of the New Deal did not transform the American system; they conserved and
protected American corporate capitalism, occasionally by absorbing parts of threatening programs.
There was no significant redistribution of power in American society, only limited recognition of
other organized groups.…The New Deal failed to solve the problem of depression, it failed to raise
the impoverished, it failed to redistribute income, it failed to extend equality and generally
countenanced racial discrimination and segregation."
Barton J. Bernstein, Towards a New Past, 1968
Barton J. Bernstein, "The New Deal: The Conservative Achievements of Liberal Reform," in
Barton J. Bernstein, ed., Towards a New Past: Dissenting Essays in American History (New York:
Pantheon Books, 1968), 263–288.

"But it is not the variety of change which stamps the New Deal as the creator of a new America;
its significance lies in the expansion and permanence of its programs. There is another measure of
the New Deal’s significance in American social and political history. No Republican administration
since then has repudiated the New Deal’s essentials.…The New Deal Revolution has become so
much a part of the American Way that no political party that aspires to office even dreams of
repudiating it. The conclusion seems inescapable that, traditional as the words may have been in
which the New Deal expressed itself, in actuality it was truly a revolution in ideas, institutions and
practices, when one compares it with the political and social world that preceded it."
Carl N. Degler, Out of Our Past, 1984
Carl N. Degler, Out of Our Past, 3rd ed., (New York: HarperPerennial, 1984).

Based on the two interpretations above relating to the legacy of the New Deal, complete the
following three tasks:

a. Briefly explain the main point made in Passage 1.
b. Briefly explain the main point made in Passage 2.
c. Provide ONE piece of evidence from the era of the New Deal that is not included in the passages
and explain how it supports the interpretation in either passage.

Read the excerpt from chapter 18 in frankenstein. alas! to me the idea of an immediate union with my elizabeth was one of horror and dismay. i was bound by a solemn promise which i had not yet fulfilled and dared not break, or if i did, what manifold miseries might not impend over me and my devoted family! could i enter into a festival with this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground? i must perform my engagement and let the monster depart with his mate before i allowed myself to enjoy the delight of a union from which i expected peace. examine this excerpt to analyze the way the author’s choice of words adds to the meaning and impacts the tone of this portion of frankenstein. what does victor mean when he talks about “this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground”? how do these words affect the tone at this point in the story? use examples and evidence from the text to support your analysis. frankenstein chapter 18
