Which excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis" most foreshadows that the narrator will feel regret for something he has done to
Doodle?
But sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its
changes is ground away and I remember Doodle.
Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did, so I dragged him across the burning
cotton field to share with him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp.
There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as
our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle.
Once I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility and I prepared a terrific
development program for him, unknown to Mama and Daddy, of course.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

i would pick a. i think this is more of a personal question though.
