Write a review of the two performances of a scene from Shakespeare's The Tempest in this lesson. First, identify Shakespeare's purpose as it relates to colonialism and imperialism. Then explain how well each
performance achieves that purpose, supporting your opinion with evidence.
Note that your objective in this assignment is to provide an evaluation, not just an analysis. You're
making a judgment about which of the two performances does a better job of conveying Shakespeare's
intent in The Tempest
, based on factors like costumes, acting, casting, sets, and directing.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
• An explanation of Shakespeare's purpose, as it relates to imperialism and colonialism, in The
The
Tempest
• Evidence from the play that supports your opinion about Shakespeare's purpose
• A claim that explains which performance accomplishes that purpose better
Examples from both performances that support your evaluation
• An introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph
• Transitions that carry the reader smoothly from one idea to the next and from one paragraph to the
next

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)
