1. how does the governor's house contrast and contradict the simplicity of puritan values, as described in chapter 7 of the scarlet letter? a. hester finds the governor's house so ornate that she doesn't know how to act, which is contradictory because she has been there many times. b. the governor's house is very simple and plain, which seems out of place for a person in such authority. c. it seems strange that the governor has such a small home when he's the head of a colony of people. d. it's ironic that the governor's home is so beautiful and ornate when so many puritans believed in simplicity.

in paragraph 6 of "sinners in the hands of an angry god" by jonathan edwards, he talks about how doing good things alone will not save men from going to hell because they're at the mercy of the will of god. "spiritual reform" provides men with a false sense of safety.

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.
