. Reread the poem "Design" below. Design The drop seeps whole from boulder-lichen or ledge moss and drops, joining, to trickle, run, fall, dash, sprawl in held deeps, to rush shallows, spill thin through heights, but then, edging, to eddy aside, nothing of all but nothing's curl of motion spent. A. R. Ammons What attitude toward nature do the poet's word choices suggest?

Explanation:

The poem shows how strong and terrible nature is when it decides to show that force that develops like a furia that it is not possible to contain. The poem reveals a sense of danger that the speaker can present when he is in contact with nature, because beyond strength it is full of mysteries. This allows us, when analyzing the words, to realize that the speaker has a fearful attitude towards nature.

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.
