Okay,I will answer 1-8 because there are a lot of questions and I think that is a test.

1- When he was talking to Cherry about sunsets

2- She tells Ponyboy that the real difference is that the Socs don't feel. They are emotionless, because they are trying to maintain a cool aloofness. The Greasers, on the other hand, are the complete opposite. They feel everything, and respond and act on every little emotion. (Put in your own words)

3- The sunsets

4- He means he thinks that Darry is cruel and doesn't love him

5- He means his eyes are piercing and scary

6-  He means to shut up

7- He means it isn't fair that they have such a tough life

8- She tells him that because Socs don't talk to Greasers and she is afraid her boyfriend might hurt him so she tells him not to get offended.

hi! : )

what is the first step in analyzing or preparing a summary for a piece of literature?

c) describe the setting!

: )

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)
