Growing up in Cairo, Ola Hafez had wanted to wear the traditional veil. Her parents forbade it.

"They wanted to make sure I understood the commitment I was making," she explained. Wearing a veil, they said, was not a rite of passage to be taken lightly only to be discarded later.

So it wasn't until 15 years ago, when she was 20, that Hafez started wearing a veil as a way of maintaining the appropriate modesty prescribed by her religion and culture.

Hafez, a lecturer in the English department at Cairo University, was among speakers at a recent UCLA forum, "On Veiling and the Media," sponsored by the Middle East Centers at UCLA in cooperation with New York and Columbia universities.

The forum's purpose: to critique the Western media's often-simplistic portrayals of the Arabic veil.

Among these protrayals is the stereotype of the veil as "the perfect symbol of [repressed] sexuality," said Sondra Hale, adjunct professor of women's studies at UCLA.

That image and its counterpoint--the unveiled Muslim female as "a fallen, salacious woman...tells us more about Western values than about the Middle East," Hale suggested.

The truth about the veil is quite different, conferees agreed.

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)
