A student wants to use evidence from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" to show that Greg and his father have different ideas
about what is important at the beginning of the story. Which story excerpt would provide the best support for this idea?
O "I had to leave school when I was thirteen," his father had said, "that's a year younger than you are now. If I'd had half the
chances you have, I'd ..."
"And you want to play basketball?" His father's brows knitted over deep brown eyes. "That must be some kind of a joke.
Now you just get into your room and hit those books."
From this spot he could see the blinking neon sign over the bodega on the comer. He sat a while, watching the sign blink
first green then red, allowing his mind to drift to the Scorpions, then to his father.
His father had been a postal worker for all Greg's life, and was proud of it, often telling Greg how hard he had worked to
pass the test.

citizens are given 25 years of life to prove their worth to society; if they fail to do great things

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
