Read the passage from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. "There's one more thing Take this book of poems and memorae one for me. Next
time you pay me a visit, I want you to recite

I have tried often to search behind the sophistication of years for the enchantment!
so easily found in those gifts. The essence escapes but its aura remains. To be
allowed, no, invited, into the private lives of strangers, and to share their joys and
fears, was a chance to exchange the Southern bitter wormwood for a cup of mead
with Beowulf or a hot cup of tea and milk with Oliver Twist. When I said aloud, "It is
a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done.. tears of love filled my eyes
at my selflessness.
On that first day, I ran down the hill and into the road few cars ever came along it)
and had the good sense to stop running before I reached the store.
I was liked, and what a difference it made. I was respected not as Mrs. Henderson's
grandchild or Baileys sister but for just being Marguerite Johnson
Childhood's logic never asks to be proved all conclusions are absolute). I didn't
question why Mrs. Flowers had singled me out for attention, nor did it occur to me
that Momma might have asked her to øve me a little talking to All I cared about was

the servant does not kill the child oedipus as he was ordered to do because "he pitied the child" based on the oedipus rex story. the servant was ordered to kill the child because of the prophecy that predicted king laius' death. the king already had attempted to hurt oedipus by piercing oedipus's ankle. however, the servant did not finish the job and he rather saved the baby oedipus.

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.
