Irish dialect.

Explanation:

In Frank O'Connor's "First Confession", the story revolves around the 7 year old boy Jackie's life. The short story dwells on the importance of doing penance and making confessions in the lives of the characters in the city of Ireland.

The story dwells on the importance that the Irish people give to their confessions and penance in the church as a way of dissolving their sins. But with the trivial things even thought to be major, the story is also a sort of satirical take on the Irish community's belief system. And with the inclusion of Irish dialects throughout the whole story, the author adds to the way the story captures our attention.

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.
