Based on the first paragraph, how would you describe McPherson's purpose for
writing? Do you think he presents his purpose in a clear way that engages the
reader's interest? Cite evidence from the text to support your response.

Hello. You did not quote the text to which this question refers, but I believe you are referring to James McPherson and the work he wrote called "What They Fought." However, you have not specified which part of the text the question refers to, which may leave the textual evidence inaccurate, but I hope I can help you.

In writing "What They Fought" James McPherson aimed to show the reasons that led southern and northern soldiers to maintain the American civil war, especially southern soldiers while they saw the impending defeat. He did this by analyzing letters and diaries of these soldiers who showed their thoughts without any kind of censorship or control. This objective is shown in a very clear and attractive way to the public, primarily because McPerson presents an accessible, easy and direct language text, which allows the reader to quench curiosity about the soldiers' thoughts in the face of such a great conflict.

In the excerpt from "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," in which sentence does Hughes indicate that musicians and writers should work without any concern about judgment? An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose. But, to my mind, it is the duty of the younger Negro artist, if he accepts any duties at all from outsiders, to change through the force of his art that old whispering “I want to be white,” hidden in the aspirations of his people, to “Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro—and beautiful!” So I am ashamed for the black poet who says, “I want to be a poet, not a Negro poet,” as though his own racial world were not as interesting as any other world. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.

Well, I did it. Oh, it was a long rowin time in the cold, with me worryin. But pretty soon I see a light way up high. Then I remembered the woman told me to watch for a light. Told me to row to the light, which is what I did. And when I got to it, there were two men. They reached down and grabbed the girl. Then one of the men took me by the arm. Said, “You about hungry?” And if he hadn’t been holdin me, I would of fell out of that rowboat.

Well, that was my first trip. I was scared for a long time after that. But pretty soon I got over it, as other folks asked me to take them across the river. Two and three at a time, I’d take them. I got used to makin three or four trips every month.
