Answer from: HernanJe6

According to "The Veldt" by Ray BradBury...

Answer to the First Question: Assuming the inflated value of $9 still applies to the time of this answer, today the Happylife Home System would have a price of $270,000 dollars, since:

30,000 x 9 = 270,000

Answer to the Second Question: There would be a market for this system as long as the governments approve of the risks implicated.

Anyone aware of the system's capabilites would not think twice about purchasing one - provided they could afford it -. The fact that a machine could do any chore of daily life, as well as provide simulated entertainment with no boundaries is simply irresistible to anyone. The benefits are worth the price.

The customers would not worry about the dangers at first; they would consider themselves responsible enough to manage a balanced life of luxuries.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

"then the door of the bedroom opened and mr. samsa appeared in his uniform with his wife on one arm and his daughter on the other." "’leave my home. now! ’, said mr. samsa, indicating the door and without letting the women from him.” "the three of them at first just nodded without looking up from what they were writing, and it was only when the cleaner still did not seem to want to leave that they looked up in irritation. ‘well? ’, asked mr. samsa."
