passage 1
excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's four freedoms speech
on january 6, 1941, president franklin d. roosevelt spoke to
congress about the potential effect that world war i might have on
the united states and its policies. his address has since become
popularly known as the four freedoms speech
it is true that prior to 1914 the united states often had been
disturbed by events in other continents. we had even engaged in
two wars with european nations and in a number of undeclared
wars in the west indies in the mediterranean and in the pacific for
the maintenance of american rights and for the principles of
peaceful commerce. but in no case had a serious threat been
raised against our national safety or our continued independence.
what i seek to convey is the historic truth that the united states as
a nation has at all times maintained clear, definite opposition to
any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient... wall while the
procession of cuation went past. today, thinking of our children
and of their children we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or
for any other part of the americas..
the need of the moment is that our actions and our policy should
be devoted primarily almost exclusively-to meeting this foreign
peril. for all our domestic problems are now a part of the great
emergency
just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a
decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men
within our gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been
based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations,
arge and small. and the justice of morality must and will win in the
end. our national policy is this

egard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national

3. Short-response prompt (15 points)

Read the following excerpt from Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall":
Cornelia's voice staggered and jumped like a cart in a bad road. It rounded corners and turned back again and arrived nowhere. Granny stepped up in the cart very lightly and reached for the reins, but a man sat beside her and she knew him by his hands, driving the cart. She did not look in his face, for she knew without seeing, but looked instead down the road where the trees leaned over and bowed to each other and a thousand birds were singing a Mass. She felt like singing too, but she put her hand in the bosom of her dress and pulled out a rosary, and Father Connolly murmured Latin in a very solemn voice and tickled her feet. My God, will you stop that nonsense? I'm a married woman. What if he did run away and leave me to face the priest by myself? I found another a whole world better. I wouldn't have exchanged my husband for anybody except St. Michael himself, and you may tell him that for me with a thank you in the bargain.

Light flashed on her closed eyelids, and a deep roaring shook her. Cornelia, is that lightning? I hear thunder. There's going to be a storm. Close all the windows. Call the children in . . . "Mother, here we are, all of us." "Is that you Hapsy?" "Oh, no, I'm Lydia. We drove as fast as we could." Their faces drifted above her, drifted away. The rosary fell out of her hands and Lydia put it back. Jimmy tried to help, their hands fumbled together, and granny closed two fingers around Jimmy's thumb. Beads wouldn't do, it must be something alive. She was so amazed her thoughts ran round and round. So, my dear Lord, this is my death and I wasn't even thinking about it. My children have come to see me die. But I can't, it's not time. Oh, I always hated surprises.
