Sweat dripped from Andre’s forehead as he dipped the brush into the can of sky-colored paint that was carefully placed on Mrs. Robinson’s kitchen counter. He’d been working since sunrise and was lost in thought about how close he was to having enough money to make his purchase. All summer he’d saved his earnings from stocking the shelves of the Welner’s Grocery Store—even picking up extra shifts when he could. Last month, when he’d turned 16, he’d decided to supplement his income by doing small jobs for the people in his neighborhood. He’d become a pro at mowing lawns, fixing gutters, and now… painting. Each job got him a little closer to his goal—saving enough money to purchase the 1976 Ford Ranchero. It had been sitting alone on the car lot since May. Andre had probably inspected it a hundred times imagining the moment when the keys were in his hand and he drove it off the lot. Andre brushed the last strip of cream blue color along the edge of the ceiling. The blue was almost the same as the Ranchero—the color of freedom and independence.

in what story are we looking at?

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.
