I want you to carefully read the essay and try to make connections to the text. When you finish reading please answer the following questions with a one-two paragraph response for each:
- Why does Milosz begin with the question "Are Americans really stupid?" What is his perspective in the essay? How does the opening paragraph suggest his point of view, tone, and themes of the essay?
- Consider Milosz's use of the term "nature." What is "natural" to man? Is he being ironic? Contrast these two views of human nature, modes of living, states of civilization presented in the essay.
- What does the author conclude about the world? Now sixty years after the publication of this essay, do you concur with his views expressed in paragraphs 11 and 12? Have Americans lost their innocence? Their senses of insularity from world events?
