Read the excerpt from The Metamorphoses by Ovid.

Jupiter, not thinking the punishment of Lycaon sufficient to strike terror into the rest of mankind, resolves, on account of the universal corruption, to extirpate them by a universal deluge. . . .

. . . The weapons forged by the hands of the Cyclops are laid aside; a different mode of punishment pleases him: to destroy mankind beneath the waves, and to let loose the rains from the whole tract of Heaven.

Read the excerpt from the adaptation "The Flood” by James Baldwin.

"These men,” [Jupiter] said to his mighty company, "are nothing but a source of trouble. When they were good and happy, we felt afraid lest they should become greater than ourselves; and now they are so terribly wicked that we are in worse danger than before. There is only one thing to be done with them, and that is to destroy them every one.”

So he sent a great rain-storm upon the earth.

Baldwin’s text clearly explains that Jupiter destroys humankind with vast amounts of water, while Ovid’s text is vague about the way Jupiter destroys people.
Ovid’s text explains that Jupiter destroys humanity out of fear, while Baldwin’s text claims that Jupiter’s actions are a result of Jupiter’s anger at humanity.
Baldwin’s text shows that Jupiter has the support of the other gods, while Ovid’s text describes Jupiter acting alone to punish humans.
Ovid’s text uses an omniscient narrator to describe Jupiter’s motivation for punishing humans, while Baldwin’s text uses dialogue to present Jupiter’s reasoning.

In many ways, Roosevelt saved the United States. He believed the government should become the active force in driving the country toward prosperity and held to that idea regardless of any opposition. In 1941, the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor ignited World War II, and the war effort helped to accelerate the production of goods and services in the United States. Ultimately, this ended the Great Depression and put the country back on the road to prosperity. However, it was Roosevelt's programs that held the United States together for so many years by providing work, income, and hope in a time of unprecedented economic terror
