Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: Address to Parliament
Winston Churchill
May 13, 1940
[During World War II]
INTRODUCTION 1 Mister Speaker, on Friday evening last I received His Majesty's commission to form a new Administration. It was the evident wish and will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties, both those who supported the late Government and also the parties of the Opposition. I have completed the most important part of this task. A War Cabinet has been formed of five Members, representing, with the Liberal Opposition, the unity of the nation.
2 The three party Leaders have agreed to serve, either in the War Cabinet or in high executive office. The three Fighting Services have been filled. It was necessary that this should be done in one single day, on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. A number of other key positions were filled yesterday, and I am submitting a further list to His Majesty tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of the principal Ministers during tomorrow. The appointment of the other Ministers usually takes a little longer, but I trust that when Parliament meets again, this part of my task will be completed, and that the administration will be complete in all respects.
3 Sir, I considered it in the public interest to suggest that the House should be summoned to meet today. Mr. Speaker agreed, and took the necessary steps, in accordance with the powers conferred upon him by the Resolution of the House. At the end of the proceedings today, the Adjournment of the House will be proposed until Tuesday, the 21st of May, with, of course, provision for earlier meeting, if need be. The business to be considered during that week will be notified to Members at the earliest opportunity. I now invite the House, by the Resolution which stands in my name, to record its approval of the steps taken and to declare its confidence in the new Government.
CLOSING 4 We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory; victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realized; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."

A) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he knows he will have to answer a lot of questions from the people after his speech.
B) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he plans on answering everyone's questions after the speech so that they feel better.
C) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he is trying to create a feeling of insecurity by placing the pressure of preparing for the invasion on the people.
D) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he is trying to create a feeling of security by explaining the pressure of preparing for the invasion to the people.
E) the author has the goal of preparing the British for an invasion, and he wants to create a feeling of reassurance that the leaders have a policy and a direct aim for winning in the minds of the people.

Character is Story Assignment
DedPeter [7]

Pick one of the movies that uses the main character or protagonist’s name as the title. Then, using the RACE method of writing, respond to the following prompt: Explain why the main character’s name (or protagonist’s name) is used as the title. Your paragraph should be at least four to five sentences.

You want to be sure to include evidence (this can be your citing evidence—normally you would include evidence from a text and an MLA citation) from the movie to explain why you believe your character is important enough for his or her name to be used as the title of the movie. Think about his or her importance to the overall story.

Think back to what the professor said about a character and the story. Can you really have one without the other?

Be sure you explain and sum up your ideas.
