An example of literal description in the poem is (1 point) a.)the sun brightening valleys. b.)an audience being moved by a speech. c.)the words of the president being relevant for a long time. d.)shadows falling over the land. 1 it shall flash through coming ages, 2 it shall light the distant years; 3 and eyes now dim with sorrow 4 shall be brighter through their tears. 5 it shall flush the mountain ranges, 6 and the valleys shall grow bright; 7 it shall bathe the hills in radiance, 8 and crown their brows with light. 9 it shall flood with golden splendor 10 all the huts of caroline; 11 and the sun-kissed brow of labor 12 with lustre new shall shine. 13 it shall gild the gloomy prison, 14 darkened by the nation's crime, 15 where the dumb and patient millions 16 wait the better-coming time. 17 by the light that gilds their prison 18 they shall see its mouldering key; 19 and the bolts and bars shall vibrate 20 with the triumphs of the free. 21 though the morning seemed to linger 22 o'er the hill-tops far away, 23 now the shadows bear the promise 24 of the quickly coming day. 25 soon the mists and murky shadows 26 shall be fringed with crimson light, 27 and the glorious dawn of freedom 28 break refulgent on the sight.

looks alright to me

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.
