Does the narrator think this remedy will help her? Why or why not? What clues can you find about how the narrator feels about her illness?

No, she does not think this remedy will help her. Instead, she wants congenial work, excitement, and change. Her passivity shows in repetitions of the phrase “what is one to do?” and tentative word choices such as relief, perhaps, and exhaust.

own response, then mounting toward unrestrained, accepting delight, Johnson concluded: “There are those timid souls who say . . . we are condemned to a soulless wealth. I do not agree. We have the power to shape civilization. . . . But we need your will, your labor, your hearts. . . . So let us from this moment begin our work, so that in the future men will look back and say: It was then, after a long and weary way, that man turned the exploits of his genius to the full enrichment of his life.”Watching the film in the White House basement, almost involuntarily I added my applause to the tumultuous acclaim coming from the sound track. . . . I clapped for the President, and for our country.
