Write a brief summary of the chapter about The Great Wave. Sample Response: MacGregor suggests that The Great Wave reflects Japan’s feelings of insecurity and uncertainty at moving from isolation to increased trade. Because it is an island, Japan had managed to remain isolated for many years, but countries like Britain and the United States wanted to trade with it. Commodore Perry of the US forced Japan to trade, which led to Japan opening its ports to more trade. MacGregor comments that this time signaled a shift toward greater economic power for Japan.

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.
