Answer the questions attached to each of the first 3 documents (you will need pages 357-360 in your textbook to answer the 3rd question for Letter Opposing the English).
For The White Man's Burden, write a 1 page interpretation of the poem. Is it meant seriously or sarcastically? What does it show about the attitudes of Europeans and Americans in 1899? Use evidence from the text, and reference discussions we've had in class.
