Which shows that poetry is a good thing? (can be more than 1)

a) discounting the school classics, today who reads poetry? i think almost exclusively the poets themselves, or the academic scholars.

b) poetry is thus not an abstract or accessory ornament, it is a necessity that gives the impression that the present chile requires screams.

c) the loss of reading poetry has much to do with this general limitation of our experience exclusively to the useful and instrumental. that is why reading poetry is so important, because a non-instrumentalized language is the only one that allows us to reach some degree of truth, to arrive at some more reliable understanding of ourselves

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.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.

it depends on how u want ur relationship to go, if u want something serious or not.   if u are to go on a first date go to somewhere nice, comfortable, and fun. don't make it so romantic because u can make the other person uncomfortable. don't make moves so fast and keep things chill.never force the other person to do things they don't want to do.
