85 points; read the summary of “the beginnings of the maasai.” in “the beginnings of the maasai,” the daughter of the maasai explains the relationship between the maasai and their sky god enkai. she explains how a volcanic eruption sent enkai and the cattle into the sky. in order to save the cattle, enkai created a giant tree that allowed them to walk back to earth. then, enkai entrusted neiterkob, the narrator’s father, and his tribe to care for the cattle. as a result, the cattle are sacred to the maasai, and the maasai maintain a close connection with enkai. is this an effective summary of the story? yes, because it includes key ideas from the beginning, middle, and end, and it explains the conflict and the resolution. yes, because it focuses on the details from the beginning, the obstacles from the middle, and the resolution from the end. no, because it is uses too many specific names from the beginning, middle, and end, and it has a vague resolution. no, because it leaves out details from the beginning, the obstacles from the middle, and the resolution from the end.

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.
