Read the following lines from "Thoughts of Hanoi." Brother, how is all that now? Or is it obsolete? Are you like me, reliving the past, imagining the future? Do you count me as a friend or am I the enemy in your eyes? Brother, I am afraid that one day I'll be with the March-North Army meeting you on your way to the South. I might be the one to shoot you then or you me but please not with hatred. Which of the following would most likely be the speaker of this poem?

D. A Vietnamese man who fled Hanoi and joined the Army in the south.

Explanation:

In the poem "Thoughts of Hanoi" by Nguyen Thi Vinh writes about the condition of her home country Vietnam and the past lives that has been destroyed with the war. The poem also acts as a foreseeing of what the future holds for the people.

In the lines given in the question, the speaker seems to be someone who used to be from the north but has now been drafted in the army, fighting for the South. From line 15, the poem talks of the numerous places in the north, which suggests that he had been previously a resident of the north too, considering his knowledge of the place. He seems to reminiscence about the time before the war but all that is gone now. His admission of "I am afraid that one day I'll be with the March-North Army meeting you on your way to the South. I might be the one to shoot you then or you me but please not with hatred" shows that he is fighting not because he hated the North but because he has to. He considers his enemy as a "brother", for they are both from the north irrespective of who he's fighting for now.

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.
