How does the author develop her argument regarding burning trees? Justify your response with evidence from the text. Using the article Surprise! Fire can help some forests keep more of their water

The author of the article starts by saying that although it is believed that fires are bad, they are not actually bad: "In forests, abundant trees are good and fire is bad, right? Actually, the reverse can be true".

Then, she starts explaining why with her own words and explaining some processes, but after that she starts quoting different people who can explain why fire can help some forests keep more of their water and using scientific studies: "Some forest managers actually start fires to burn off those thirsty understory trees and brush. These fires are known as “controlled burns.” Researchers choose where, when and how much forest to burn so that it can be done safely and in a way that will improve forest health."

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.
