(1) "They can’t do this!" Coretta shouted. Some big company from out of town could not just show
up and take away her mother’s store—could they?
"Don’t get so angry," said Mrs. Carter. "I’m afraid they can do this, if I don’t come up with the
money to match their offer."

willing to part with all the money from her summer job. (3) But when she got to work the next
day, she got an even worse surprise. Her boss had decided that three writing tutors were two too
many.
"Sorry, Coretta, but I can only afford to keep one of you. And you’re only in high school—Lucia is
in college!"
(4) "Great," Coretta said. "Now Mom and I are both broke!"

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.
