Concha While growing up in a small barrio, Pacoima, my younger brother Joey and I were left alone to find ways, to amuse ourselves, to keep ourselves busy—and out of our mother's way. One way in which we whiled away long summer days was by making pea shooters. These were made from hollow reed which we first cleaned with a piece of wire. We then collected berries from the pepper trees that lined our driveway. Once we amassed enough dry berries we put them in our mouths and spat them out at each other through the pea shooter. The berries were a terrible taste- they were even said to be poison! I was most careful not to swallow them. We selected only the hard, firm peas. The soft ones, we knew, would get mushy, crumble in our mouths and force us to gag-and lose a fight. During an important battle, short pause would spell defeat. Oftentimes while playing with Joey I watched closely. When he appeared to gag I dashed back to pepper tree to load up on ammunition. I pelted him without mercy until he begged me to stop. "No more. Ya no," Joey cried as he bent over to spit berries. "No more!" Please explain it in short.​

While trying to find ways to amuse themselves during summer, two boys discovered how to make pea shooters. The peas were poisonous though, so they picked the hardest of peas, and then pelted them at eachother until the other surrendered.

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.
