1. PART A:Which of the following best describes a major theme of the poem ? A Deceitful people are always punished by their own trickery. B Envy and greed can permanently damage a relationship. C Bottling up one's feelings leads to resentment and even violence D A healthy friendship is built on trust and communication.

C. Bottling up one's feelings leads to resentment and even violence

Explanation:

This is based on the poem, A Poison Tree by William Blake. In it the speaker describes how they were angry with their friend and told them about it which led to the anger dissipating. The same person became angry with a foe and did not tell the foe which led to the anger increasing every day.

It then got to the point where the speaker confronted the foe and ended up either killing or injuring the foe as the foe was lying on the ground at the end of the poem. This shows that one should not bottle up their feelings especially negative ones as they can grow and lead to resentment and sometimes violence.

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.
