“As the enraptured Ichabod fancied all this, and as he rolled his great green eyes over the fat meadow- lands, the rich fields of wheat, of rye, of buckwheat, and Indian corn, and the orchards burthened with ruddy fruit, which surrounded the warm tenement of Van Tassel, his heart yearned after the damsel who was to inherit these domains, and his imagination expanded with the idea, how they might be readily turned into cash, and the money invested in immense tracts of wild land, and shingle palaces in the wilderness.”

Answer and Explanation:

1. Coquette is the term given to a very flirtatious and charming person. In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" Katrina is a coquette, because she likes to flirt and charm men with all her femininity. The upbringing she received helped her to be that way, because her parents taught her to be attractive and draw the attention of many admirers.

2. Ichabod's rival could use the teacher's reputation to make him badly liked in society, causing people not to admire him and not allow him to be welcomed in the territory, in addition to treating him badly to the point that he would prefer to leave town.

3. the passage shows how Ichabod is an ambitious and conceited man, who, besides wanting to have a beautiful woman by his side, thinks about making a lot of money with everything she has, leaving him successful, rich and envied.

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.
