In a blog post, Kendra Gagnon, a Pediatric Physical Therapist, reported the following: "Yesterday, the medical journal Neurology published a study suggesting that professional football players are four times more likely to die from Alzheimer's and ALS(Lou Gehrig's disease) than the general population. This is just the most recent addition to a growing body of evidence linking football to neurodegenerative disease...In local youth football leagues...children as young as eight years old practice up to six hours a week in full pads."

Write an essay that argues your position on the future of football, on football in American family life, and discuss the pros and cons that parents might consider when deciding whether or not to involve their children in the sport. In a fully developed essay, weigh the various sides of the issue and draw conclusions.

Please make sure the essay is at least 4 paragraphs. Thank you!!!

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)

where are the options? i can try to if you add them : )

it is c through the rain, the cheetah dashed.
