Student a reads the following excerpt from "civil peace": "at first he went daily, then every other day and finally once a week, to the offices of the coal corporation where he used to be a miner, to find out what was what. the only thing he did find out in the end was that that little house of his was even a greater blessing than he had thought. some of his fellow ex-miners who had nowhere to return at the end of the day's waiting just slept outside the doors of the offices and cooked what meal they could scrounge together in bournvita tins. as the weeks lengthened and still nobody could say what was what jonathan discontinued his weekly visits altogether and faced his palm wine bar." after reading the excerpt, student a writes this: "if i were in jonathan's shoes, i'd be really afraid that my family's livelihood depends on people buying palm wine." which type of evidence describes the support in this student's response best? inferred details textual evidence explicit details personal connection

Personal connection

Explanation:

In these lines, the student is making a personal connection in order to provide support for his argument. The student wants to highlight the fact that Jonathan is in a scary and worrisome situation. The way he does this is by thinking of how he would feel if he were in Jonathan's situation. This allows him to better understand the text and to better relate to the characters of the story.

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.
