Which quotation supports the inference that meditation can be difficult to learn and practice?"People came looking for 20 minutes of peace before an afternoon of meetings and ideas passed back and forth in rapid-fire fashion." (paragraph 7)"People came looking for 20 minutes of peace before an afternoon of meetings and ideas passed back and forth in rapid-fire fashion." (paragraph 7)"‘(Escape is) what brings most people to meditation,’ said Verano. ‘I want to get out of the rat race. I need a break from all of this stuff, this workaday world. Please promise me there’s something else beyond this stuff.’" (paragraph 8)"‘(Escape is) what brings most people to meditation,’ said Verano. ‘I want to get out of the rat race. I need a break from all of this stuff, this workaday world. Please promise me there’s something else beyond this stuff.’" (paragraph 8)"Langley disciples called meditation an ‘off switch,’ though that implies a conscious effort to turn the mind off, then turn it back on. Verano prefers the word ‘tool.’" (paragraph 10)"Langley disciples called meditation an ‘off switch,’ though that implies a conscious effort to turn the mind off, then turn it back on. Verano prefers the word ‘tool.’" (paragraph 10)"‘What we’re fighting against is…thousands of years of being trained to lean toward the thinking mind; of cognitive creatures having to always be doing something,’ he said."

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)

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !
