Will give ! 20 ! think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big picture means something different. write anything down that you can think of, and a brief explanation of what it means. the goal is to have you think a bit more critically about phrases that we tend to take for granted. then, over the three days, pay attention to any idioms you hear. if you hear anything that you’ve already written down, put a check mark next to it. if you hear anything new, add it to you list. at the end of those three days, use those idioms to create a short story to put into your journal. your goal will be to get as many idioms as possible into the story as you possibly can, and still have it make some sort of sense. the story itself should not be longer than 2 pages.

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.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

a is is the correct answer

ah, shun the horrid gulf! by scylla fly.
