Answer:

The author's purpose is to highlight the persistence of racism.

Explanation:

The short story "Of the Coming of John" shows how even if a black citizen is well educated, educated and promotes the good of society, with progressive attitudes and actions, he will always be seen as inferior to white citizens, because when the population looks for him, she will see him only as a black man. This is because racism is so ingrained in our society that it prevails, regardless of the situation.

When the author quotes this short story, he wants to emphasize this theme and provoke people's reflection on the racist concepts they encourage.

<em>Which concept does Roosevelt most likely intend to convey in this sentence?  </em>

<em>The answer is, Optimism is important to success.</em>

<em>When Roosevelt reinforces the fact that this nation will endure as it has endured, he does it to tell his people that no matter how it looks today our nation will prosper, no matter how bad it appears to be, this nation has always stood up. American Manifest Destiny, though it refers to expanding his lands by providential order, also gives Americans a providential pull, a lift up, that always takes them forward. Roosevelt is aware of this, but his people has forgotten it, and he reinforces this truth to lift up the moral of the American people.</em>
