TRUE OF FALSE

1. TRUE

2. FALSE

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan. The story is narrated from a first-person perspective by the main character, June. She is the daughter of Suyuan, a Chinese immigrant living in America.

At its most fundamental level, the story revolves around the conflict between mother and daughter. Suyuan expects June to be a child prodigy, no matter in which field - singing, dancing, mathematics, acting, playing the piano. June, on the other hand, quickly decides that she does not want to be a prodigy at all, but would rather be mediocre. And that is what she does, her whole life. Thus, the conflict is basically between what the mother wants for her daughter, and what the daughter wants for herself.

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.
