Identity whether the following paragraph is a narrative, persuasive, descriptive, or expository paragraph. I remember when I first arrived in the United States. Even before the plane landed, the little windows in the airplane
revealed snow and ice-covered houses and buildings. As I walked off the plane, cold air crept though the corrugated
ramp that led to the airport terminal. Some people inside the airport were wearing big coats and hats, which I had seen
on television, but never up close. I felt a little dizzy and needed to sit down, and then my cell phone rang. It was my
Aunt Sophia. She was waiting for me outside in the passenger pick-up area, so I walked quickly to the exit, forgetting
all about my luggage. When the sliding glass door opened to the outside, there was my aunt a woman I hadn't seen in
over ten years wearing a parka and waving her arms frantically in my direction.

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.
