Spawned during their trek from the ocean, the color of their bodies have been transformed from silver to deep scarlet. This sentence talks about the salmon, because they are a silver like and live in the ocean but once they are ready to reproduce, they turn red and they swim up the river. More than once, we drove around a curve and came up upon moose beside the road. The size of these animals is scary... They just chew their cud and watch us go by.

The topic sentence of this paragraph tells us how the author sees the big moose beside the road, and how stunning that is. Remember a moose can be around 6.5 feet tall. At one point we exit the highway . we drive a few miles and come face - to face face with an ancient millions of years old glacier and the icebergs that it calves. We see icebergs as big as houses in a - above - freezing lake within walking distances/ of the highway. by Alaska . The Kenai Peninsula . Summer. Wow.

Thanks for the points

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.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
