1. What main differences between the English and the American cultures are mentioned in the song? What distinguishes an ‘Englishman’?
2. What does ‘a legal alien’ mean in this context?
3. Give definitions of the following words: ignorance, modesty, notoriety, propriety, sobriety.
4. Comment on the following:
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
