Think about a time you were surprised about something that happened to you. It could be a happy surprise or a disappointment. Write about the event. You are requested to write a personal narrative of about 200 to 250 words. You must include the following points:  When and where you got the surprise  What was the surprise (happy or disappointment)  What were your feelings

Ok here is an example of this but this is supposed to be from past experience!

Explanation:

   I woke up that morning as jittery as I usually get in the mornings when I first wake up. I hopped out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. Next I went and got changed in to some of my fanciest clothes. I looked over and saw the the time, 8:30 on the dot. Time for breakfast! I pranced down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Surprise!" I looked around excited with a big fat grin and then I saw the chocolate chip pancakes covered with whipped cream and sprinkles with a cherry on top. "Are those for me?!" My mom nodded and I ran to gobble them up for it was my special day and everyone was there to celebrate me!

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)

the correct answer is dilapidated.

hope this (:
