explanation below

Explanation:

John Barry, in his writing, tried to communicate to his readers, the fascination he had with Mississippi Rivers. He looked at the rivers in general in the first paragraph, and he clearly stated that rivers are so complex and mindboggling. In the second paragraph, he uses internal dynamics and some of the key factors that account for the complexities of rivers and make them worthy of admiration

By the middle of the passage, he tried to say that Mississippi river was alive and could not be controlled and dictated its own path.  

by the last paragraph, Barry was of the view that the Mississippi river ran back and forth, curving like an “S”.

Even though his writing style was not uniform, he tried to let his readers know the great power of the Mississippi.

Explanation:

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.
