Read the excerpt from "The Flight from Conversation" by Sherry Turkle. I spend the summers at a cottage on Cape Cod, and for decades I walked the same dunes that Thoreau once walked. Not
too long ago, people walked with their heads up, looking at the water, the sky, the sand and at one another, talking. Now they
often walk with their heads down, typing.
Henry David Thoreau was an American writer and philosopher credited with helping to develop Transcendentalism-a system of
thought that valued nature, experience, and intuition above religion, science, and reason. Based on the article, Turkle most likely
uses this allusion to Thoreau to
А
point out how long it has been since people were able to truly communicate with others in person.
B
support her claim about having authentic experiences by linking it to Thoreau's ideas
С
suggest that the way people communicate now would alarm historical figures such as Thoreau.
D
recommend that people read Thoreau to learn about his ideas on the value of the outdoors.

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.

explanatithe story "two kinds" , revolves around a strict relationship between a mother and daughter. the mother tries very hard to make sure her daughter jing mei , is successful in life and lives up to her full potential. the story explores alot of different themes. though , there is one theme that really stands out. you cant force someone to be something that their not.

jing mei's mother was an immagrant from china. she moved to the united states to give her daughter , jing mei , a better and successful life for her. and being raised in china with their strict rules and striving to be perfect took a toll on her and her daughters relationship. she pressures her daughter to be great and perfect all the time but it gets really hard for her to live up to her mothers standards. her mother believes that jing mei can be a child prodigy and prepares her to be and act like one. furthermore , the story ends with jing mei getting everything off her chest and seeing the dissappointment in her mothers eyes as she finds out her daughter has not lived up to her full potential. and her mother has finally gained an understanding of her daughter.
