Life is full of choices, but with careful consideration, the outcome can be predicted; free will oftentimes overpowers fate.

Explanation:

One of the most recurring themes in William Shakespeare's tragedy "Julius Caesar" is the theme of fate versus free will. This theme can be found not only in the character of Brutus, but even in most of the other characters like Caesar and Cassius too.

With the death of Julius Caesar, this time became an important factor for the whole plot. If it was left to free will, Caesar would have never chosen to be killed, that to by his very close friend and confidante Brutus. But it was fate that had overtaken the life of Caesar. But, all said and done, free will on the side of Brutus and Cassius had led them to kill their king. This conflict between fate and free will is also the very essence of what humanity is. It shows that life may be full of choices,which renders the individual with unlimited yet limited choices. but with the careful consideration, one can predict what the outcome might be. This is the essence of what fate entails, which is often overpowered by free will.

both the address and the poster use diction to convey their message. diction is defined as a style of writing or speaking based on the types of words chosen in order to send a message. parallelism is when a similar sentence structure is used for several sentences on a text; roosevelt's address doesn't follow that. repetition has to do with repeating a word or sentence in order to emphasize and idea, however neither the poster nor the address use repetion. finally, the address doesn't use images to convey a message.

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.
