Read the passage. as cara shuffled through the neglected, barren parking lot, she thought about the fight. edie would never forgive her for what she had said. their friendship was over. then cara saw it. a small, brilliantly red flower had managed to grow through one of the many jagged cracks of the parking lot. it stood in the midst of the parking lot like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean. how it had survived in this wasteland, cara would never know. but seeing this unlikely flower, she began to think that anything was possible. maybe edie would forgive her. the phrase “a small, brilliantly red flower” appeals to the reader’s sense of smell hearing sight touch

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.
