2.  What is the effect of the extended metaphor on the mood of the following passage? Your own eyes
Must tell you: Thebes is tossed on a murdering sea
And cannot lift her head from a death surge.
A rust consumes the buds and fruits of the Earth;
The herds are sick, the children die unborn,
And labor is vain. The god of plague and pyre
Raids like detestable lightening through the city
And all in the house of Cadmus is laid waste

a) It emphasizes Thebes' isolation & helps create mood of loneliness
b) The depiction of Thebes as lost at sea emphasizes the excitement
c) It emphasizes the uncertainty of Thebes' fate as it is tossed around, creating a suspenseful mood
d) The metaphor emphasizes that Thebes must save herself, creating a mood of hopelessness

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.
