Icarus and his wings was a Greek Myth. It portrayed a young man, Icarus, and his father, creating wings out of feathers and wax to escape imprisonment in Crete. Icarus did not heed his father's warning to stay away from the sun and did not comprehend that the wings would melt, because of the wax. The wax melted resulting in the death of young Icarus.
Today we have still not mastered the art of human flight. Inventors have created jetpacks and rocket belts to try and make the fantasy of human flight a reality. There are a few problems with both ideas, however. A jetpack can only lift a person between 30 and 35 feet in the air. They must also be powered by either a jet ski or boat. Both rocket belts and jetpacks have limited mobility and can only move forward, or side to side. Rocket belts and jetpacks also have very short flight times. If you run out of time, you will also perform "a death dive" and plummet to the ground or into the water! Humans still have a long way to go on being able to actually fly

the answer is: round.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
