Fast! : )
i like my cousins, but when we go to the mall together, they drive me crazy. debra stops and looks at herself in every mirror to comb her hair and adjust her makeup. deidra takes way too long trying on outfits but is too picky to actually buy one. dalia spends the whole time making fun of other people's clothing choices. none of them will even eat at the food court because they don't want to mess up what they're wearing. it's strange that we are from the same family, but act so differently.
what is the implicit idea in this paragraph?
my cousins all have names that start with the letter d.
my cousins care too much about appearances.
my cousins do not like to go to the mall.
my cousins drive me crazy.

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.
