“battery my heart”
john donne
batter my heart, three-person'd god, for you
as yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
that i may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend
your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
i, like an usurp'd town to'another due,
labor to'admit you, but oh, to no end;
reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
but is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue.
yet dearly'i love you, and would be lov'd fain,
but am betroth'd unto your enemy;
divorce me,'untie or break that knot again,
take me to you, imprison me, for i,
except you'enthrall me, never shall be free,
nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
in fourteen brief lines, donne employs several metaphors to describe his relationship to god. in at least 200 words, write a response that identifies and explains two of the three metaphors, using details from the poem. then state a conclusion about donne’s view of human attempts to live piously, based on the metaphors you choose to explain.

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.

in general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. however, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect.

explanation:

the original because it was the first to be created which means it is most likely to be tried the hardest. meaning the actors tried their hardest to make it right because shakespeare was so famous.

hope this : )
