Their suffering is caused by slavery and discrimination, the inability to truly be free. They do not change their situations because they are unable to-they are being restrained and enslaved by others who enforce power over them. The sufferers are appealing to a higher power in their pain because they feel their suffering goes above human help. In "We Wear the Mask" the speaker says "O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise" and in "Sympathy" the speaker says that the bird's song is "But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core, But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings". These lines both show that they are singing and appealing to their God to help them and see their suffering to save them.

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.

"i found two boys with bills — in each case a single, too. david strager and joey buell. no envelope." louise's brows met. ellery glanced up at the clock. 9: 07. he strolled over to her. "don't show them you're worried. there's nothing to worry about. we have twenty-eight minutes." he raised his voice, smiling. which statement explains the inference ellery makes and why he makes it? he infers that miss carpenter thinks they are not going to find the thief because he sees her facial expression. he infers that it will take twenty-eight more minutes to find the missing money because that is all the time he has. he infers that the original envelope will not be found because neither david strager nor joey buell has it. he infers that david strager and joey buell took the money because they each have a dollar bill.
