Read the Presidential Letter of Apology. Do you think this response is sufficient? Write about this letter from two viewpoints: the president of the United States or a Japanese American. Support your opinion with evidence from the text?

I think the letter shows a sincere attempt to make amends.

If I were a Japanese American, I might have the following reactions:

The memories of internment still make me sad and angry. But I am happy that the president himself has admitted "that serious injustices were done to Japanese Americans during World War II." The president’s apology is a sincere effort to heal the emotional scars of the Japanese American community.  

The president’s apology doesn't undo the damage that was done. But the lines "We must learn from the past" and "we can guarantee a future with liberty and justice" give me hope that no other ethnic group will be targeted in that way again.

Explanation: this is what my teacher said

I do believe that the presidential leaders did apologize to the best of their ability. It's incredibly difficult to apologize for a massacre, just because of how many lives were lost. However, I do not believe any emotion was put into these letters. However, this is just my personal opinion and this is just how I read the articles.

I just took the quiz and felt this was a good answer. Good luck!

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)
