How does this e-mail show how an individual can influence government? “Dear Cynthia Citizen,

Thank you for your letter about your flooded neighborhood. I had no idea your street flooded with every rainstorm! Certainly I can see why that is a problem for you and your neighbors. I have the issue set for discussion at the next county meeting on Tuesday the 24th. If possible, I know it would help the other council members understand the problem if you and/or your neighbors could come speak about it. Bring pictures if you have any.

Sincerely,

Chris Carrod
County Council Member”

Council Member Carrod explains that the citizen must have help from her neighbors if she expects it back.
Ms. Citizen expects that her council member will pay himself for repairs to the streets in her neighborhood.
Council Member Carrod does not think the council will want to do anything about the flooded neighborhood.
Ms. Citizen sent her elected official a letter about her flooding problem, and now the council will discuss 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)
