1. Read the following passage from Katherine Mansfield's "The Daughters of the Late Colonel": If mother had lived, might they have married? But there had been nobody for them to
marry. There had been father's Anglo-Indian friends before he guancelled with them.
But after that she and Constantia never met a single man except clergymen. How did
one meet men? Or even if they'd met them how could they have got to know men
well enough to be more than strangers? One read of people having adventures, being
followed, and so on. But nobody had ever followed Constantia and her. Oh yes, there
had been one year at Eastbourne a mysterious man at their boarding-house who had
put a note on the jug of hot water outside their bedroom door! But by the time Connie
had found it the steam had made the writing too faint to read, they couldn't even make
out to which of them it was addressed. And he had left the next day. And that was all.
The rest of it had been looking after father, and at the same time keeping out of
father's way.

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)

i literally just read the book and studied it for months so i could you, but i need to know where these questions are coming from. they are too general.
