"Wow. What is that?" Simon Brimm remembers calling out to his long-time
friend, Hillary Green. He and Hillary had been friends since preschool, but they
lived in different parts of the state now. They hadn't seen each other all summer.
Simon, Hillary, and their families were taking a vacation together before middle
school started next week. Zavier Gonzales and his cousins were also vacationing
at the seaside that weekend. The wind had picked up and the seas were quite
rough as swimmers, water boarders, and surfers struggled to stay afloat.

Whats the question

Explanation:

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.
