The following question is based on your reading of “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” by James Joyce. How does Father Conmee respond to Stephen’s request that he talk to Father Dolan?

Stephen seems to have an uncomfortable relationship with his father. Stephen has developed a psychological distance from his father:

An abyss of fortune or of temperament sundered him [Stephen] from them [his father and his father's companions]. His mind . . . shone coldly on their strifes and happiness and regrets like a moon upon a younger earth.

Unlike his father, Stephen seems to be shy and reserved. Some aspects of Stephen's father's behavior, such as his drunkenness and his flirting with the barmaids, make Stephen feel humiliated.

He is embarrassed by his father's conversation with his companions, and he listens in awkward silence to their vulgar talk. Stephen's repetition of the lines from Shelley suggests that he is well-read, revealing another difference between Stephen and his father.

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.
