Descrive what you think is the perfect pie. What is the flavor of the pie? How is the pie served? With Whipped cream? With ice cream? Describe the toppings or flavores that need to be added to the pie. Describe the perfect setting for eating this pie. Is it summer? Is it winter? Is it a holiday? Who is there enjoying the pie with you?

Answer and Explanation:

I dare say there is no perfect pie except for the one my grandmother makes. I know there is plenty of reason to be biased here, but I have never met anyone who didn’t describe the experience of eating a piece of her pie without a peaceful smile accompanied by a gentle sigh.

It is the simplest of apple pies, yet the most special. The apples are not bought, but grown in her very garden. She serves us a piece each with a bit of whipped cream – not much, because the pie deserves to be properly tasted and appreciated. I sometimes add just a bit more cinnamon to give it an extra kick. We wait until everyone has a piece – myself, mom, dad, my older sister, grandma and grandpa. Sometimes, my aunt and cousins happen to be there as well. We eat at the dining table, in spring, with the glass doors and windows wide open, the breeze making curtains dance, the flavor making our mouths curve up in an instantaneous smile.

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.
