April 23, 2013 Read the entry from Ameena's blog about the
importance of community service.
How could Ameena better develop her claim?
There are so many opportunities to make a difference in
another person's life. As life gets busy, we tend to lose
sight of what's important, like giving back to the
community. Here are some ideas to participate in public
service. Local soup kitchens and food pantries are
always looking for volunteers. There are also many
nursing homes that welcome volunteers. Additionally,
many nonprofit businesses, like the YMCA, offer
opportunities for people to donate their time. I have
included many links throughout my blog that guide
people to volunteer opportunities in their area. Think
about how you would like to give back. Sometimes
getting friends involved can make the experience even
more meaningful. Get involved today; it's never too late!
How could Ameena better develop her claim?
Include a fact about how nursing homes are run.
Include an interview with someone who has never
volunteered.
Include an image of a YMCA building.
Include a quote from someone who has volunteered.

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)
