I'm not sure I'm reading this right but if the question is "what is a synonym for dictated" then, "ordered" could be a good word to use.
sorry if I read the question wrong!
The topic—"Literary devices in American poetry"—would be a weak topic because such a topic is extremely vague and not specific enough.
American poetry uses many, MANY literary devices—and many of which are not unique to American poetry alone. Also, "American poetry" in general is too broad of topic.
Answer:
I think he´s (partly) right
Explanation:
Partly right because yes, colleges are flooded with individuals who seem to be out of place and not learning anything that they could have learned outside the school building. Murray´s essay follows quite clearly the opinion of Noam Chomsky. The strategical creation of a separated American class system is a daring theory that needs some (personal) coments because of its elitist element, i.e. we who study have (keep) the power.
Two examples:
México is a democracy in name where the powerful and rich people send their kids - no matter how stupid they are - to college schools and private universities that only exist as the entry door to a well-paid job. And even if you don´t go to university you can always buy your degree, as former president Fox did.
Germany is a real democracy that has a social education system. It is costly but the economic support (bafug in German) for students is based on how much your parents earn. If your parents are poor you get more money per month to study and vice versa.
Now kindly look at the American educational system and see if it resembles more the Mexican or the German system.
It might be summarized that the poet believes that England brings hopes and glory. People is free. British people are proud of their nation. God protects the land and made the land powerful. God will make the nation even more stronger in the future.
