Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.

Question 12 (1 point)

Delvig [45]

Answer:

c) "...it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it;"

Explanation:

The "Farewell Address" of George Washington was written when he was about to retire as the President of the United States. It was meant to give people an advice regarding internal factions or divisions and the country's relationship with foreign nations.

Among the choices mentioned, choice c highly supports Washington's belief that national unity is of highest importance. It tells people that national union should also mean "individual's happiness" and for this, people should all-together aim to have such unity. They should also cherish it and make it an important aspect of their lives.

So, this explains the answer.
