Read the passage. excerpt from First Inaugural Address of Franklin D. Roosevelt, March 4, 1933 In 1933, the nation was in the gr

ips of the Great Depression. Roosevelt's inaugural address was a response to the challenges the people of the nation faced and outlined Roosevelt's plans for approaching and solving these issues. I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our Nation impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.
In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. . . Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources. Hand in hand with this we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land. The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the Federal, State, and local governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomical, and unequal. It can be helped by national planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and other utilities which have a definitely public character. There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped merely by talking about it. We must act and act quickly. Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order; there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency. . . I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wisdom, I shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption. But in the event that the Congress shall fail to take one of these two courses, and in the event that the national emergency is still critical, I shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then confront me. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis—broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe. The structure of a written work—the way a work is built using sentences, paragraphs, chapters, or sections­—can help an author develop and communicate ideas to the reader.

Tom and Amanda are both fragile and compliant. This is symbolized by the glass style of the play. They are like a glass that is easily broken and very fragile. However, they are compliant with the arguments that a person would tell to the public and they easily obey the laws.

How did Thomas More's Utopia differ from Desiderius Erasmus' Praise of Folly?
inna [77]
Erasmus' Praise of Folly is a satire which uses a narrator and main character named Folly who is the personification of the author's contemporary world of the Medieval Ages. Folly has a deep-rooted ignorance and stubbornness which is evident for all to see. Folly is pretentious and foolish which aims to encourage and support humankind's numerous faults and shortcomings. More's Utopia pictures out a more direct solution to the times with how he depicts the manners and ways of the people from a place called Utopia. Hythlodaeus -- More's parallel to Erasmus' Folly -- has a name that literally translates to "dispenser of nonsense" is the narrator of the book.
