Yes, Ingrid Jonker did use the language in her poem effectively to create a sense of a particular time and place in "The child is not dead". The event that shes specifically refering to is when a child was shot dead by soldiers in Nyanga. For example, she says in her poem, "The child is not dead not at Langa nor at Nyanga not at Orlando nor at Sharpeville nor at the police station at Philippi where he lies with a bullet through his brain". In this phrase from the poem she's directly referring to the events at multiple places where significant events have happened. Such as referring to Sharpeville Massacre and the later events at Langa and Nyanga where the child was shot in the head. She also says in her poem, "The child is the dark shadow of the soldiers on guard with rifles Saracens and batons the child is present at all assemblies and law-givings". This phrase in the poem demonstrates the kind of time it was in Africa as she also later says, "this child who just wanted to play in the sun at Nyanga is everywhere". It talks about a time when children were not able to be children because of the pressing of apartheid. By giving these specific examples and phrases Ingrid Jonker did use language effectively to create a sense of a particular time and place.

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)

Read the excerpt from elie wieselâ€™s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their â€śproductionâ€ť? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was â€śprocessingâ€ť ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single nightâ€”or even for just a few hoursâ€”would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
