1. How does Santiago respond to the chieftain's question as to why the desert would speak

to him, a newcomer?

Santiago replied that since he was new, he is able to see the things unobserved by them, the things they are accustomed to or believe to be common for them.

Explanation:

Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist is the story of Santiago, a shepherd who dreamed of a prophecy about him discovering a great treasure of wealth at the Egyptian pyramids. The story follows him in his journey to the deserts and his various encounters with different men along the way and his final realization that the ultimate treasure has always been in Spain where he first got his dream.

In part 2 of the text, Santiago had gone back to warn the village chieftains about his vision that he saw of the hawks, "watching their flight and had suddenly felt himself to have plunged to the Soul of the World." But when he tried to warn the tribal chieftains, he was as to why they should believe what he said and why the desert would "reveal such things to a stranger" who was new to the area. At this, Santiago replied, "Because my eyes are not yet accustomed to the desert [] I can see things that eyes habituated to the desert might not see." Then the chieftains believed his warning, which was a relief for him.

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.
