I put a documentary on TV but started playing a videogame on my phone. The game was supposed to be just a distraction while the streaming was loading, but I got distracted by it in a way that the documentary was going on and I wasn't looking at the TV, thinking that I could understand everything by listening to it while playing the game without any sound. Since I was paying attention to the game, though, I didn't actually listen to the documentary and couldn't remember anything from it.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Answer from: Quest

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters. in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology. abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
