The poem relates to literary topos theatrum mundi, which states that there is no free-will, and world is just a God's play, where he writes roles for each of us, and we are determined to behave in a manner which was chosen for us.

Poem shows life as a process where our social roles are set, and the outcome of life is determined. The person described in poem doesn't seem to have his own thoughts, he just adapts to the current stage of "life schedule".

Theatrum mundi also reverses the usual demand that theatrical plays should reflect he life, by stating that it is the life which reflects theatrical play. Although it may be arguable to agree totally with the concept of world as a theatrical play, if we narrow the perspective, it is true, that we all act to adapt to society. We behave differently among our parents, grandparents, teachers, classmates, friends. On the internet we too are trying to shape our image in a manner which we think will be desirable towards our target group. Clothes, gadgets and other possessions (save for it's inherent utility) are chosen based on how they will be perceived by society. They are what costume is for an actor, while the way of talking, eating, gestures, what we say or don't say are acting itself.
To conclude I agree the message is important for me as what is described in it affects me and every person i meet. As for the broader perspective, I do believe that there is cause and effect between relationship between everything what is happening, therefore I agree that everything what I will do and what will happen is predetermined, maybe by the laws of the universe, maybe by the God, but there is no way of changing it. However since i don't know the future I think that all this predeterminism is just a fun fact not affecting my life.

Ok those are just some loose thoughts and facts. But i hope that they help :)

Answer from: Quest

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)
