Answer:

In this excerpt Ferlinghetti is not proud of new America.

Explanation:

Ferlinghetti's way of referring to the new America shows us that he is not proud.

There is much irony in his words when he speaks of <em>"the vast empire carrying its corporate monoculture around the world." </em>

The new America is more technological than with values and that is what is criticized in this excerpt.

Even if we search the full text we can see how Ferlinghetti talks about<em> "to save us from ourselves and how to survive our own rulers". </em>

So we can conclude that he is not proud of New America.

Read the excerpt from President Ronald Reagan’s speech on the night before the 1980 presidential election.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

A) Popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today.

In this speech, President Reagan uses the ending of a popular novel of the '60s to help pose his question about whether history still has a place for America, her people and her ideals. He takes provocative questions written in an old novel and uses them to show important subjects that need to be addressed today.

B) Many Americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams.

In his speech Reagan states that many americans have lost their faith in their country and no longer believe that it is a place for dreams and greatness. Theis people say that americans must "cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw"

D) President Reagan believed that John Wayne would argue that he was not the last American hero, because there are many more.

After the passing of the iconic Hollywood actor, John "Duke" Wayne, the headlines on the newspapers called him the "Last American Hero". Reagan, being a close friend of the late actor, stated that Wayne would've hated being called that, since he knew there were still many other heroes in America.
