My grandparent's house is a magical place for me and I love to visit it often. There is an amazing loft where I can sit and enjoy spying down on my brothers. I also feel glad to get into the smelly chicken coop every morning to check for fresh eggs. There is a wonderful swing in a gigantic, old maple tree and a tall, black totem pole on the front steps which mesmerizes me most. The totem pole always fascinates me and I love to stare into the blank eyes of the thunderbird at the top and wonder what he is thinking. I enjoy running my small hands over the chiseled black wood and marveling that the carver has included details such as eyes, wings and even feathers. However, it is the thunderbird's nose that intrigues me the most. His long black beak stuck out from the totem pole and has two carved nostrils at the curved end. The nostrils are curious black holes that are tempting for me. One day to have fun, I cautiously poked my finger into the thunderbird's nostril, not sure how far it would go. I suddenly felt a sting that yanked out my finger. Not only had I poked my finger into the nose of the thunderbird, but also right into the back end of a bumble bee. Whenever I see the stately totem, now on my parents' front steps, I remember what an astonishing and amazing way it was for me to learn to "keep my fingers to myself". TONE OF PARAGRAPH WITH JUSTIFICATION?

I would describe the tone of the paragraph as sentimental. This is because of the speaker's description of the positive memories and experiences in their grandparent's house. The speaker uses words such as "magical", "amazing", "wonderful", and "remember", which shows the positive reflection of the house, which contribute to the sentimental tone.

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.
