In Act III Horace talks with Addie who tells him that Ben and Oscar and Regina believe that the deal with Mr. Marshall will greatly profit them; in fact, they consider it consummated.
HORACE: They believe it that way?….They are fools.
ADDIE: You ain’t born in the South unless you are a fool.
Addie knows that to dream is a foolish venture for every black, as their station in life is fixed. And, for Ben and Oscar to believe that the Northerner, Mr. Marshall, has come to truly make a profitable bargain with them is equally foolish. For, the Northern industrialists come to the South only to profit themselves and to exploit the defeated South.Moreover, those who do not combat the vices such as greed, fall to the evil wrought by it, along with apathy and envy. Horace Giddens is made sick, and his will to fight is defeated; Birdie turns to drink, and Alexandra comes to detest her mother, while Leo gets arrested.Hellman perceived the passivity of Southerners as defeatist and dangerous. For, allowing Northern capitalists to infringe on their land’s products defeats the Southerners.

Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality

By
1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that ...
