Read the following paragraph and answer the question below. Wuthering Heights is in the midst of the desolate English moors. Outside the gates of this solitary dwelling,
the landscape expands into dreary shades of brown and gray, with only the craggy cliffs on the distant
horizon to break the monotony. 3Wildlife and foliage are scarce. The few trees that do live must eke out their
existence: the north wind
blows constantly. 5The house itself, built to withstand the tumults of wind and rain,
is cold and forbidding. The stone walls and earthen floors offer no relief from the bone-chilling dampness of
northern England. In sharp contrast to Wuthering Heights is Thrushcross Grange. Situated in a sheltered
valley, Thrushcross Grange is calm and peaceful, and is surrounded by lush flower gardens. The refined
elegance of Thrushcross Grange differs as much from Wuthering Heights as the rose differs from the thorn.
10 The contrast between these two settings is symbolic of the ultimate conflicts in Emily Bronte's novel
Wuthering Heights.

**Question: Name the shape of the paragraph.**

funny and sad

explanation:

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.
