What’s the name of the book that Tom wants to discuss at dinner? What does this books content show us about Tom?

Answer and Explanation:

Tom Buchanan is a character in the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. At the beginning of the story, the narrator Nick is invited to have dinner at his cousin Daisy's, who is married to Tom. During dinner, Tom asks Nick the following question:

Have you  read ‘The Rise of the Coloured Empires’ by this man Goddard?’

‘Why, no,’ I answered, rather surprised by his tone.

The book Tom mentions, "The Rise of the Coloured Empires", talks of how African-Americans will eventually rise to power if white people do nothing to prevent that from happening. Tom apparently takes the book very seriously, and shows genuine concern that his own race will be subjugated.

That reveals a lot about Tom. Not only is he a racist, but also a supremacist. Tom is "old money"; he comes from a wealthy family and is used to having everything in life. The idea of having his wealth and lifestyle taken away from him is already unbearable, but it would be even worse - to his mind - if it is carried out by black people.

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.
