4. Describe the tales that people tell about the mule after Joe Starks emancipates it. Why do you think the mule captures their imaginations the way it does

Some of these tales that the people were telling about this mule after it was emancipated are how the mule was able to open the kitchen door, how it slept there and also how it caused a fight till they had to make coffee for it. Another tale that was going round was that Mrs. Pearson had mistakenly thought the mule was the Rev that she had to give it food. The people turned these lies about this animal into a trend. Everyone due to what they heard about the mule had to start lying just so they could get involved too with this famous animal. The mule capture their imaginations this way because of what it symbolizes to them. that is setting a tortured soul free.

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.
