Written story about a sick girl

"Ick!" Victoria groaned while shoving the empty measuring cup into her mother's hands. "That was the worst taste ever! I hate that medicine!" yelled Victoria. Her mother just rolled her eyes and continued to put the medicine away and wash the cup. Victoria had stayed home from school that day, so her mother took her to the doctor. She was told her daughter had a cold. "Go lay down and rest, darling." said Victoria's mother. "NO!!! I think I'm gonna die and its your fault mom!" yelled dramaticly by Victoria. Her mother rolled her eyes and tucked her in on the couch. Victoria fell asleep soon after, and her mother finally got some quiet time. She was dreading tomorrow when Victoria would bring home schoolwork she missed, and demand her mothers help. She sighed and said, "Tomorrows going to be a long, long day."

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.
