Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:
Part IV of Gulliver’s Travels is much more nonfiction than fiction in nature. Swift wants to educate his readers about the pitfalls of human nature, and he does not have much time for any sort of plot or characterization messing up that purpose. In chapter 5 of Part IV, Swift alters his format to set off all this information about human nature with the following: “The reader may please to observe that the following extract of the many conversations I had with my master, contains a summary of the most material points, which were discoursed at several times for above two years . . . .” In this portion of Part IV, Swift is deciding to deviate from the travel narrative pattern he has set up from the beginning of the book. Although travel narratives aren’t set up like novels, they are more story-like than nonfiction-like, so Swift needs to indicate with some sort of paragraph (like the one here) that he is choosing to deviate from his preset format. This technique is a sign post for the reader, designed to help alleviate confusion.

Answer from: Quest

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.

Tobias wolff most likely named his short story "mortals" because the story explores the theme of people coming to terms with the idea that one day they too will die. wanting to find out what their loved ones really think of them. achieving immortalit by being "big people" while they are alive. hoping that they will have accomplished something before they die.
