What do these quotes mean?
“he drove down n. m. 53 toward zuñi a little faster than he should, the mood bothering him because he could find no logical reason to explain it. why resent this assignment? ” (chapter 2)

“o. k.,” leaphorn said. “then has he got any other friends there at school? anybody else who i should talk to? ”
“no friends there at school,” cecil said. “they’re zuñis.” he glanced at leaphorn, to see if he understood. “they don’t like navajos,” he said. “just make jokes about us. like polack jokes.” (chapter 3)

The first excerpt means that a man was allowing his mood to interfere with his actions. In the text we can see that the man is bothered with something that makes him angry and this makes him drive faster than recommended. Even though he doesn't know what left him like this, his mood is not normal.

The second excerpt means that there is a case of prejudice between two groups of people, which prevents friendships from being made and that some jokes, which may be offended, are said.

Explanation:

In the first excerpt we can observe the influence of our emotions on what we do, which can even put us in situations where we don't care about the risk we run. These emotions may even arise for no apparent reason, this will not change the potential for influence they have.

The second excerpt shows how cases of racism and prejudice prevent good opportunities from being realized. This is because it prevents people from making wonderful friendships that will contribute to different moments in our life.

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.
