(HEP)How does the author’s word choice help develop the poem? Story: This is Not a Small Voice

The author's choice of words develops the theme that when several people come together in the name of the same cause, they do not provide a small voice, but a loud and influential voice.

Explanation:

The author uses the names of several people to show the union in the name of a single cause. This union prevents a fight from being small and being represented by a small voice that does not cause discomfort, nor influences that the cause is attended to, as the multitude makes several voices cry out for one thing, becoming an imposing big voice , flashy and powerful.

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.
