Tiana's Scar by Maria Kane When she was five years old, Tiana was bitten by Rex, her uncle's dog. The bite left a small
scar on Tiana's finger.
Now 11, Tiana still avoids dogs wherever she goes. Every morning, Tiana walks an extra
block to school to avoid walking by her neighbor's dog, Millie. Millie lies quietly behind a
locked gate and doesn't bark much, but Tiana insists on avoiding the dog at all costs.
When her best friend, Kim, laughed at Tiana's extra hike one morning, Tiana exclaimed,
"I don't care what you think! Passing a ferocious beast is not how I want to start my day.”
"OK, calm down, Tiana," Kim responded as Tiana rushed away angrily.

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.
