Read the excerpt from Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms" speech.

A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.

50 POINTS ! JII 171 Unit Activity: The Mid- to Late Twentieth Century: Postmodernism Task 1 Print Preparing a Presentation In this task, you will make a 5- to 10 minute presentation on a topic related to this course unit. Part A Choosing a Topic To begin preparing a presentation, start by considering the topic. For this activity, you will select any topic connected to this unit and create a persuasive presentation. For example, you could choose a topic about postmodern literature or Beat poetry, such as these examples: • Motif became one of the most important elements of postmodern narratives, such as in John Updike's "The Brown Chest." • Beat poetry emerged from the need to amend social injustices in society. You can select any topic.connected to the unit. Make sure to pick a topic that you find interesting and wish to learn more about. Choose a position on the topic. Your presentation should persuade your audience about your viewpoint. As you select your topic, consider two important aspects of any public speaking opportunity: purpose and audience. Make sure you have a firm understanding of why and to whom you will be presenting. This information will help determine your topic and the tone of your speech.

Read the excerpt from "Homesick Blues."

Do you want to know what turned out to be the last straw for me? I was walking down to the corner delicatessen one day, and a man asked me for two dollars. He said he needed it for bus fare to get to the hospital to visit his mother who was dying. I told him I didn't have any cash, although I was holding $12.00 in my back pocket. The truth was that I didn’t believe him. I thought he was lying to me because I'd heard so many lies here and because this same man had told me the same story before, and if his mother has been dying that long she should be in a medical journal, and because I am tired of it.


Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me. The poor guy was worse off than me and all he wanted was two lousy dollars. When had I become so jaded, so suspicious, so calloused? I don't like that part of me, and I don’t like the city that has brought it out for me to see.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.

Brutus
It must be by his death, and for my part
I know no personal cause to spurn at him
But for the general. He would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there's the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder
And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,
And then I grant we put a sting in him
That at his will he may do danger with.
Th' abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And, to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face.
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then, lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no color for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities.
And therefore think him as a serpent's egg—
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous—
And kill him in the shell.

Which of these lines from the play indicates that Brutus fears giving Caesar power will make him dangerous? (5 points)

"…think him as a serpent’s egg/ Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous—"

"It must be by his death, and for my part/I know no personal cause to spurn at him"

"But 'tis a common proof/That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,"

"And, to speak truth of Caesar/I have not known when his affections swayed/More than his reason."

Read the excerpt from a student’s argumentative essay.

Students at Glenmore High demand an increase in the number of advanced placement classes. In order to compete with other college-bound students, we must have access to more rigorous courses. I mean, if we can’t show that we took tough courses, colleges will turn us down.

How can the final sentence best be revised for this argument?
Tough work is the key to proving to college admissions that we’ve got what they want.
We need tougher courses on our transcripts, or else nobody’s going to notice us.
Without proof of challenging courses, colleges might disregard our transcripts.
