Apsu, the god of fresh water, and tiamat, the goddess of salt water, bore a son named lahmu and a daughter named lahamu. these siblings bore anshar and kishar. anshar was the sky god. kishar was the earth goddess. with each successive generation, apsu and tiamat's offspring became more wild and unruly, yet more powerful and perfect. —"enuma elish," early babylonian myth in which part of the plot sequence does this passage belong? the beginning of the story the middle of the story the end of the story

The beginning of the story

Explanation:

It is likely that this passage is supposed to be placed at the beginning of the story. This is due to the fact that the passage deals with the beginning of the family's lineage. Moreover, the passage describes how the two gods had children, and how these children became the sky and the earth. We can conclude that the author believes this to be the beginning of the world.

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.
