In a paragraph of seven to ten sentences, answer the following questions in relation to this passage from john f. kennedy's 1963 civil rights address: what notion does kennedy seek to reinvent in this passage? why is it necessary for this notion to change? what long-term result does kennedy expect to see through the reinventing of this notion? "one hundred years of delay have passed since president lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. they are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. they are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. and this nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free. we preach freedom around the world, and we mean it, and we cherish our freedom here at home, but are we to say to the world, and much more importantly, to each other that this is the land of the free except for the negroes; that we have no second-class citizens except negroes; that we have no class or caste system, no ghettoes, no master race except with respect to negroes?

Read the following excerpt from life on the mississippi by mark twain. no girl could withstand his charms. he "cut out" every boy in the village. when his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. but when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism. how does twain's use of understatement serve his purpose? be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
