Write a one-page persuasive essay with your views on the civil disobedience discussed and promoted by Thoreau and Lewis. Do you think civil disobedience is acceptable? Why or why not? If so, what instances of civil disobedience are appropriate and to what degree? You may cite evidence from the lesson, reading selections, speeches, or videos to support your response. Be sure to include a logical introduction, body, and conclusion, and address any counterarguments to your stance. Also, to improve your essay, try brainstorming, outlining, and revising any drafts you write.

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)
