Read the following excerpt from "when greek meets greek."
fraser scratch his head. "i know of a landlord up the road who vow that he ain't ever taking anybody who come from the west indies. but he don't mind taking indians. he wouldn't know the difference when he see you is a indian . . them english people so foolish the believe every indian come from india."
which of the following statements is true?
a.) fraser is from the west indies
b.) ram is from india
c.) fraser doesn't want ram to get a room.
d.) ram is from the west indies
!

d.) Ram is from the West Indies

Fraser is telling Ram that the landlord says he won't take anyone from the West Indies. However, the landlord doesn't mind taking Indians. Also, the landlord doesn't know that people from the West Indies are Indian. With this, Fraser thinks that the landlord would take Ram because he can't tell the difference between someone from the West Indies and someone from India. This then means that Ram is from the West Indies, otherwise, this conversation would be pointless.

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."

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.
