Unit 2 Golding, in which a group of children are stranded on a desert island.
MARIA
So, in his article Kinski says that the message in Lord of
the Flies is that civilization is precious and can easily slip
away
EDGAR:
I think that Golding's message is that civilization itself is
kind of a myth, given that the story seems to take place in
the middle of a war of some kind, the adults fighting the
war aren't any better than the children killing each on the
island. In other words, civilization can't "slip away if it was
never there to begin with.
VICTOR:
Kinski does tend to make a big distinction between
"civilized" people and uncivilized people, like it's
something that can be tumed on and off like a light switch.
That explains his attitude.
RIKU:
What I got out of Lord of the Flies is that civilization is a
house of cards, built slowly over time, that can come
crashing down at a moment's notice. Kinski didn't really
seem to contradict that idea.
MARIA:
It sounds like you two have pretty different ideas about
what Kinski was saying. We should look back at the article
and find support for what each of us thinks about his
opinion.
VICTOR
Fine by me. I remember exactly where to look.

for me, balancing all your work/homework is the hardest part in high school and the exams.

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)

i think that it is letter d.
