Question 2

(7) I was soon to learn that most people in Mali that had automobilesactually had trucks or SUVs. (8) Apparently, there not just a convenience but a necessity when you live on theedge of the Sahara.

(15) When I looked back at the capital, Bamako, fast receding on the horizon, I did not see a cityforeboding and wild in its foreignness. (16) I saw the city which held so many dear friends. (17) I saw teadrinking sessions going late into the night.(18) I saw the hospitality and open-heartedness of the people of Mali.

Question 3
-
George Washington served as president of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and was then elected
President of the United States in 1789. This is from his first address to Congress.
Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present
station, it would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to the Almighty
Being, who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can
supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of
the United States a government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes, and may enable every
instrument employed in its administration to execute with success the functions allotted to his charge. In
tendering this homage to the great Author of every public and private good, I assure myself that it expresses
your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either. No people can
be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the affairs of men, more than the
people of the United States.
Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been
distinguished by some token of providential agency. And, in the important revolution just accomplished in the
system of their united government, the tranquil deliberations and voluntary consent of so many distinct
communities, from which the event has resulted, cannot be compared with the means by which most
governments have been established, without some return of pious gratitude along with a humble anticipation of
the future blessings which the past seems to presage. These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have
forced themselves too strongly on my mind to be suppressed. You will join with me, I trust, in thinking that there
are none, under the influence of which the proceedings of a new and free government can more auspiciously
commence. By the article establishing the executive department, it is made the duty of the President “to recommend to your
consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” The circumstances, under which I
now meet you, will acquit me from entering into that subject farther than to refer you to the great constitutional
charter under which we are assembled; and which, in defining your powers, designates the objects to which
your attention is to be given. It will be more consistent with those circumstances, and far more congenial with
the feelings which actuate me, to substitute, in place of a recommendation of particular measures, the tribute
that is due to the talents, the rectitude, and the patriotism, which adorn the characters selected to devise and
adopt them. In these honorable qualifications I behold the surest pledges, that as, on one side, no local
prejudices or attachments, no separate views or party animosities, will misdirect the comprehensive and equal
eye, which ought to watch over this great assemblage of communities and interests; so, on another, that the
foundations of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality, and the
preeminence of a free government be exemplified by all the attributes, which can win the affections of its
citizens, and command the respect of the world.
