1. Shortly after Montag endures Beatty's lecture in Part Two, Montag voices his
opinion on the importance of reading. When Mildred has enough of Montag's
foolish and "antisocial" behavior, she cries: "Why should I read? What for?"
Montag's response is emotional, highly-charged, and critical. His speech is as
much for himself as it is for Millie. A second look at this speech reveals how
Montag is changing. In his response to Millie, Montag asks many questions, one
after the other, without pausing or giving Millie an opportunity to answer. These
rhetorical questions are asked not to obtain answers, but to make statements.
This activity gives you a chance to look at Montag's persuasive language and his
support of reading. You also see Montag's opposition to the current state of the
world (status quo).
Directions: In the chart below, record three rhetorical questions posed by
Montag. Explain the statement Montag makes by posing each question.
Rhetorical Question
Example: "Is it because we're having so much fun
at bome we've forgotten the world?
Statement
Example: No one is interested in or shows concern
about the war because they are too busy taking part
in superficial activities created by the government to
keep people titillated and bappy.

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)
