Explanation:

In John Steinbeck's story, "The Chrysanthemums," the character of Elisa is a confusing one. She shows clashing conduct all through the story. At first she is seen wearing questionable garments, tending her blossoms. At the point when the tinker arrives, she communicates intrigue - and perhaps envy- - at his life out and about.

She is attracted to being free similar to a man. When he gets some information about her blossoms she gets energized as she discusses them. Afterward, when she understands he couldn't have cared less about the bloom she gave him and discarded it, she feels absurd. Elisa inquires as to whether she can go to a battle later- - if the men hurt one another and if there will be blood. Her craving to see a manly game and witness brutality, mirrors her displeasure and disappointment at being confined in her job as a lady. Thus, she is all the more a repressed woman, despite the fact that she aches to be a tough person.

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.
