Back when I was a teenager in the Bronx, summer was

a time for both fun and work. Starting at about age

fourteen, I worked summers and Christmas holidays at a

toy and baby furniture store in the Bronx. The owner, Jay

Sickser, a Russian Jewish immigrant, hired me off the street

as I walked past his store. “You want to make a few bucks

unloading a truck in back?” he asked me. I said yes. The job

took a couple of hours, and he paid me fifty cents an hour.

“You’re a good worker,” he told me when I’d finished. “Come back tomorrow.”

Explanation:

I am assuming that you can choose multiple answers. if you can only choose one answer, then it is "the author uses flashback." A memoir is when someone writes about moments or events from their life. At the beginning the author writes "back when I was a teenager in the Bronx," which means that this is a memory and happened in the author's life, therefore making this a memoir. The names of real people and places make it a memoir because these are real events. The pronouns I and me mean that this is in first person, which makes sense because these events happened to the author.

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.
