Read the excerpt below from the poem "exile" by julia alvarez and complete the statement that follows.

at a curfew-darkened ciudad trujillo,
speaking in worried whispers to your brothers,
which car to take, who'd be willing to drive it,
what explanation to give should we be discovered.

on the way to the beach, you added, eyeing me.
the uncles fell in, chuckling phony chuckles,
what a good time she'll have learning to swim!
back in my sisters' room mami was packing

a hurried bag, allowing one toy apiece,
her red eyes belying her explanation:
a week at the beach so papi can get some rest.
she dressed us in our best dresses, party shoes.

something was off, i knew, but i was young
and didn't think adult things could go wrong.
so as we quietly filed out of the house
we wouldn't see again for another decade,

the foreshadowing in the excerpt above makes the poem's tone

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.
