read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game,” by richard connell. he staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver. he stood there, rubbing his injured shoulder, and rainsford, with fear again gripping his heart, heard the general's mocking laugh ring through the jungle. "rainsford," called the general, "if you are within sound of my voice, as i suppose you are, let me congratulate you. not many men know how to make a malay mancatcher. luckily for me i, too, have hunted in malacca. you are proving interesting, mr. rainsford. i am going now to have my wound dressed; it's only a slight one. but i shall be back. i shall be back." how is the general’s character presented differently in the story than in the film adaptation of this scene?

a. the general displays humor in the story that is lacking in the film.
b. the general is more determined in the story than he is in the film.
c. the general shows fear in the story that he doesn’t show in the film.
d. the general has more hunting skills in the story than he has in the film.

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.
