First, the characters titles/names indicate the time period (historical context). 'Lady' and 'Nurse' tell readers when the story is taking place. While this would fall under language evidence for the historical context, this could also fall under cultural practices because it was a cultural practice in that time period to address people with titles such as these.

Second, little things such as wording point out the historical context. "Nay," "hath," "doth," and many others make it clear that this story is definitely in a different era, a historical one.

The historical context depicted in this excerpt is quite different from our world today. Instead of, 'Lady,' we use the term 'Mrs/Ms/Miss.' We do not typically have Nurses/Governesses, rather we call them teachers and they play similar yet different roles in our society. We do not usually use words such as, "Nay," "hath," "doth." Rather, "no, have/has, or do/does."

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)
