Excerpt from: miniver cheevy edwin arlington robinson miniver sighed for what was not, and dreamed, and rested from his labors; he dreamed of thebes and camelot, and priam's neighbors. what is implied about miniver cheevy in these lines from the poem? a) he rarely talks to anyone. b) he lives mostly in his thoughts and dreams. *** answer c) he wears himself out through hard work. d) he has a positive perspective on life.

Miniver upholds that he was born too late, that he should have existed many centuries before. He youthfully idealizes the Greeks’ obstruction of Troy, Alexander the Great’s outbreak on Thebes, and King Arthur’s battle near Camelot, as if such clashes were fun. So therefore, the best answer that suits here is letter b.

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.
