(1) ashley tried to keep pace with her family as
they walked up the narrow mountain path. (2)
ashley's family was visiting a national park, and they
would be camping there for the night. (3) it was a hot
summer morning and sweat was trickling down her
face as she stopped to catch her breath. (4) ashley's
mom turned around and said, "ashley, we have to
move quickly, or we won't get there in time."
(5) hiking isn't as much fun as i thought it would be,
ashley said to herself. (6) as ashley slowly resumed
walking behind her mom, she could see vast
meadows spreading over the mountains like a green
carpet, and tall, dark trees stretching high into the
clear, blue sky in the distance.
(7) "we are almost there," said mom, pointing at
the campground ahead. (8) the distant roar of a
waterfall lifted ashley's spirits, and her excitement
doubled as the sound grew louder.
(9) as soon as they reached the camp site, ashley
dropped her backpack and sought the sound of the
rushing water. (10) when she reached the spot,
ashley stood still for a moment dazzled by the
spectacular sight in front of her. (11) the water
tumbled down the hill and crashed on the huge black
rocks below, forming a band of white foam in the pool
at the bottom. (12) a dense foliage of broad green
leaves and colorful spring blossoms surrounded the
waterfall, and she could see the rocky bed of the pool
through the crystal clear water. (13) the air was filled
with the sweet fragrance of the spring flowers, and
ashley giggled with delight as tiny splashes of icy
cold water fell on her face.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war
