Sorting clothes into the "keepers" and "donations" piles was a much easier task for Alicia than it was for her older sister, Alicia was growing like a weed, as her mother was fond of saying. She couldn't squeeze into the clothes that fit her two months ago, much less a year ago. Her sister
might agonize over parting with each article of clothing, but for Alicia it meant making room for pants long enough to cover her legs and sleeves
that actually reached her wrists. Besides, the task was helping keep her mind off of her grandmother not being nearby this winter. Alicia also
enjoyed knowing someone else would wear and appreciate her favorite donated outfits. Next week, her castaways would be a part of someone's
new wardrobe.
Alicia pulled open the top dresser drawer and slid both arms in to scoop out the clothes. She laid the neatly folded stacks of shirts and
sweaters on her bed. She lifted the first top from the stack, unfolded it, and held it up to her body. Too short, she thought. She refolded the sweater
and placed it in the box. She continued with the rest of the shirts and sweaters, each one receiving a quick trial and verdict, until only one sweater
remained on the bed. Alicia picked up the fuzzy, pink sweater and rubbed it gently across her cheek. Gran had given her that sweater just before
she moved away. She remembered the first time she tried the sweater on. "I looked all over to find the perfect yarn to knit that sweater for you,"
Gran had said. "I made a good choice, because that color looks lovely on you."
Alicia slipped the sweater on. The sleeves were too short and the shoulders were much too tight. She took the sweater off and carefully
folded it before returning it to the dresser drawer. "Keeper," she whispered, as she slid the drawer shut.

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)
