Why are Shakespeare's plays considered difficult for modem students to
understand?

Explanation:

It's the idiomatic language that causes the most difficulty. You have to remember that the audiences that watched Shakespeare's plays understood what was going on. The expressions used were not out of their reach. Consider some of the things we say that are going to make it difficult for students 400 years from now to understand.

1. She is so cool. How can that possibly make any sense to someone who does not know that cool actually means hot?

2. He's chasing after his shadow.

3. They're a match. (Why is that plural and why does it mean more than 1)?

4. He's so smart he's stupid. (Said about any nerd. By the way, what's a nerd? Or what will it be 400 years from now?)

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)

you didn't list the options but im guessing it's resolving contradictions
