The final line of the article quotes a passage from Booth’s diary, where he alludes to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam and Eve. In the story, Cain, kills his brother due to jealousy and anger. What is Winnik’s point in ending his article with this reference?

Winik uses this allusion to emphasize that, although Booth sounds as though he is very self-assured, and does not seem to regret what he has done, he ultimately admits to being alone and cursed, as though it was his destiny to do what he did. It seems that Winik believes that his being lonely and feeling wronged is a more accurate reflection of Booth than his otherwise self-confidant demeanor gives on.

This allusion (in Booth's diary) is also an important factor, in that it indicates that Booth believed his actions were God's will.

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.

Read this excerpt from wheels of change by sue macy. that said, it's hard to grasp the full extent of the bicycle's impact on americans in the late 19th century—particularly female americans. imagine a population imprisoned by their very clothing; the stiff corsets, heavy skirts, and voluminous petticoats that made it difficult to take a deep breath, let alone exercise. add to that the laws and social conventions that cemented a man's place as head of the household and holder of the purse strings. how suffocated women must have felt. and how liberated they must have been as they pedaled their wheels toward new horizons. what is the central idea of the excerpt
