The story “Raymond’s Run” is about a girl named Squeaky who is responsible for caring for her brother, Raymond. We learn that Raymond has a mental disability and is sometimes a challenge to care for. Think of a time when you have been responsible for caring for someone else. Your experience could be babysitting for a neighbor’s child, helping to care for a pet, or helping an elderly relative. If you had not had this experience, think about a time someone close to you had this responsibility; or, imagine what being in this situation would be like. What lessons did you (or could you) learn from this experience? Your response should be about 150 words.

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.
