Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer.

This passage is taken from a nineteenth-century speech given in Massachusetts after the conviction of a fugitive slave.1

(1) I walk toward one of our ponds; but what signifies the beauty of nature when men are base? We walk to lakes to see our serenity reflected in them; when we are not serene, we go not to them. Who can be serene in a country where both the rulers and the ruled are without principle? The remembrance of my country spoils my walk. My thoughts are murder to the State, and involuntarily go plotting against her.

(2) But it chanced the other day that I scented a white water-lily, and a season I had waited for had arrived. It is the emblem of purity. It bursts up so pure and fair to the eye, and so sweet to the scent, as if to show us what purity and sweetness reside in, and can be extracted from, the slime and muck of earth. I think I have plucked the first one that has opened for a mile. What confirmation of our hopes is in the fragrance of this flower! I shall not so soon despair of the world for it, notwithstanding slavery, and the cowardice and want of principle of Northern men. It suggests what kind of laws have prevailed longest and widest, and still prevail, and that the time may come when man's deeds will smell as sweet. Such is the odor which the plant emits. If Nature can compound this fragrance still annually, I shall believe her still young and full of vigor, her integrity and genius unimpaired, and that there is virtue even in man, too, who is fitted to perceive and love it. It reminds me that Nature has been partner to no Missouri Compromise. I scent no compromise in the fragrance of the water-lily. It is not a Nymphoea Douglasii.2 In it, the sweet, and pure, and innocent are wholly sundered from the obscene and baleful. I do not scent in this the time-serving irresolution of a Massachusetts Governor, nor of a Boston Mayor. So behave that the odor of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere, that when we behold or scent a flower, we may not be reminded how inconsistent your deeds are with it; for all odor is but one form of advertisement of a moral quality, and if fair actions had not been performed, the lily would not smell sweet. The foul slime stands for the sloth and vice of man, the decay of humanity; the fragrant flower that springs from it, for the purity and courage which are immortal.

(3) Slavery and servility have produced no sweet-scented flower annually, to charm the senses of men, for they have no real life: they are merely a decaying and a death, offensive to all healthy nostrils. We do not complain that they live, but that they do not get buried. Let the living bury them: even they are good for manure.

1The Fugitive Slave Act was passed by the United States Congress in 1850. It required that all escaped slaves were returned to their masters even if they were discovered in a free state. Assisting or helping hide fugitive slaves became a federal offense with prison time and fines.

2A reference to Senator Stephen A. Douglas, the primary author of the Compromise of 1850, which included the Fugitive Slave Act. A water lily's botanical name is Nymphaea odorata.

The final sentence implies that (5 points)
the audience should turn the misdeeds of some into something good
the speaker has lost all hope in humanity's ability to care for others
slavery and, therefore, abolition efforts are coming to an end
lawmakers are justified in their desire to protect slave owners

“The Elder's Drum”
by Molly Chisaakay
The smoke rises from the sacrificial fire
The circle is getting bigger and many share hope
The elder begins to drum and circles with song
My love for the people in the circle exuberates
The many other times I have shared these rituals
Noticing the whiteness and the age of my grandfather's hair
He seems frail and yet the song comes with such clarity
And my spirit rejoices in the song of my people
That we all have the dignity to be
To determine the spirit
To be like the man who sings
And yet be proud of the heritage
Our grandfathers leave us the path
The song
The sacred song


5. After you have read the poem, try listening to the audio again.


How did your second listen benefit from your on-the-page reading?

Which did you find easiest or most comfortable?

Consider how listening to a poem being read aloud is different from reading it silently.

Write a personal response of approximately 200 words that addresses your reactions to the oral presentation and to the written presentation. What made the experience different or similar for you? Reflect on the effect of either listening to or reading a poem. In a response, you go beyond "I like it," or "It's different," and give a thoughtful reaction to a piece of literature and the question. A personal response to literature is the reader's answer to the question: "What are my thoughts and feelings about the two different presentations of this poem? How do I connect to the poem and the question?"
