An instinct toward his future glory had led [gatsby], some months before, to the small lutheran college of st. olaf in southern minnesota. he stayed there two weeks, dismayed at its ferocious indifference to the drums of his destiny, to destiny itself, and despising the janitor's work with which he was to pay his way through.

which statement best explains the effect that the figurative language in this passage has on the plot of the novel?

a. portraying st. olaf as a character who is "indifferent" demonstrates the power of gatsby's imagination.
b. the image of the "drums of his destiny" suggests a steady and insistent calling that gatsby later pursues by becoming wealthy.
c. by illustrating what he despises — a working-class existence as a janitor — gatsby hints at the wealth he will later acquire.
d. gatsby shows that he is willing to commit crimes to gain wealth, which makes his enrollment in a christian school ironic.

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.
