The Brown Chest by John Updike (excerpt)
The full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know. His parents' college diplomas seemed to
be under the blankets, and other documents going back still farther, having to do with his grandparents, their marriage, or the marriage
of someone beyond even them. There was a folded old piece of paper with drawn-on hearts and designs and words in German. His
mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen. A thing so old disgusted him. And there were giant
Bibles, and squat books with plush covers and a little square mottled mirror buried in the plush of one. These books had fat pages edged
in gold, thick enough to hold on both sides, stiff brown pictures, often oval, of dead people. He didn't like looking into these alburns, even
when his mother was explaining them to him. The chest went down and down, into the past, and he hated the feeling of that well of time,
with its sweet deep smell of things unstirring, waiting, taking on the moldy flavor of time, not moving unless somebody touched them.
Then everything moved: the moving men came one day and everything in the house that had always been in a certain place was swiftly
and casually uplifted and carried out the door. In the general upheaval the week before, he had been shocked to discover, glancing in,
that at some point the chest had come to contain drawings he had done as a child, and his elementary school report cards, and
photographs-studio photographs lovingly mounted in folders of dove-gray cardboard with deckle edges of him when he was five. He
was now thirteen.

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.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
