The main ideas shaping US imperialism were "Manifest destiny" and the "White man's burden". Manifest destiny refers to the 19th century belief that the United States were meant to expand across North America because of the particular excellence of its (white) people and (democratic) institutions. This lead to the Trail of Tears, among other atrocities. Once the US reached the Pacific Ocean, new lands came into view (Puerto Rico, the Phillipines). Manifest destiny became entwined with the idea that "civilized" nations had a moral obligation to colonize other peoples, which Rudyard Kipling summed up in his poem "White Man's Burden". The tensions in this "benevolent imperialism" were never fully resolved; the US invasion of Irak was launched under similar pretenses (the invasion was "for the good" of those invaded). The idea that other peoples have a right to self determination regardless of their level of development has not yet become accepted by the great powers, including the US.

1.it was a bright sunny day in April,and the clocks were striking thirteen
This is the narrative hook. A narrative hook occurs at the beginning of a passage to get the reader interested in the rest of the story. In this hook, the speaker begins talking about what seems to be a wonderful great day. Then the reader is hit with the fact that the clocks are striking thirteen. This makes it very different than what the reader is used to. While many people use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour clock, it is usually only in digital form. Therefore, the word striking is not used. Striking is used for a digital clock because the hands move and are said to strike numbers. It is rare to find a 24 hour analog clock in our setting.
