she got turned into a spider by Athena for being awesome

Explanation:

Arachne was a weaver and a really good one. At some point, she started getting audiences that would watch her weave. We don't really know how Athena got into this, maybe she was called, maybe she saw Arachne being awesome, but we know that Arachne was proud enough that she wasn't going to give the credit of her amazing weaving to Athena. Athena comes down and basically issues a challenge to see who's the better weaver. Arachne and Athena go to work, and when they're done, Arachne's piece ridicules the gods, saying how stup!d they were, and how amazing nature was in comparison, Athena's work praised them and said how awesome industrialism and architecture was. Some stories say Arachne won, some say Athena did, and some say it was a tie, but they all say that Arachne made a vital error, she insulted Athena, and by this time, Athena was having enough with this Arachne. So she beat her up, and hit her with the weaving thingy, and then turned her into a spider, so she could weave forever. Nice story right? So the moral? Don't be vain? Don't stand up to gods? Be nice to people with more power than you? Remember your place maybe? I don't know, you decide.

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)
