The theme of the story centers on the standard of toughness and manliness set by Spunk.

Explanation:

In the book, "Spunk" by Zora Neale Hurston, we learn of a man named Spunk who took delight in showing off his toughness as a man as well as intimidating other men in the community he lived. This attitude led him to show off Lena, the wife of a man who was deemed weak by others, Joe. He walked with the woman to the cheering from other men, especially Elijah who scorned Joe.

Walter never condoned the act of intimidation by Spunk for he referred to Joe as a braver man than Spunk in these words:

"Joe wuz a braver man than Spunz".

His view of the two men was justified in the story for even though Spunk killed unarmed Joe, he still died a miserable death which was worse than Joe's. According to him, Joe's ghost tormented him to death.

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)
