Read the following excerpt from "the four hundred year old woman" by bharati mukherjee and answer the following question. the people i write about are culturally and politically several hundred years old: consider the history they have witnessed (colonialism, technology, education, liberation, civil war, uprooting). they have shed old identities, taken new ones, and learned to hide scars. they may sell newspapers and clean your offices at night. through the evidence in the excerpt above, what is not implied by the author? she cares deeply about the experiences of immigrants around her. immigrants often take jobs that others do not want. immigrants often have to change and become new people when they move to america. many immigrants have witnessed colonialism, technology, education, liberation, civil war, and uprooting before and during their time in america.

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.
