How does the word tranquil relate to the overall mood
of the passage?
A little more lather here under the chin, on the Adam's
apple, right near the great vein. How hot it is! Torres
must be sweating just as I am. But he is not afraid. He is a
tranquil man, who is not even giving thought to what he
will do to his prisoners this evening. I, on the other hand,
polishing his skin with this razor but avoiding the
drawing of blood, careful with every stroke - I cannot
keep my thoughts in order.
"Lather and Nothing Else,"
Hernando Tellez

exhausted word best describes the mood of the passage frink creates .

from the excerpt from the "the dark game" the reader can infer that folke cronholm was spying for the allied nations.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.

in our power to make a world happy - to teach mankind the art of being so - to a character hitherto unknown - and to have, as it were, a new creation intrusted to our hands, are honors that command reflection, and can neither be too highly estimated,
