In Chapter 20, "Silver's Embassy", Captain Smollett is offered two deals. The first is that they stop fighting, hand over the map, and Silver promises that once the treasure is on board the ship, he will drop Captain Smollett's men off somewhere safe. The second is that they stop fighting, hand over the map, and let Silver leave without them. Silver promises he will send a ship to pick him up. Of course, Smollett could choose not to take either deal and keep fighting. Would you take one of the deals if you were Smollett or would you keep fighting? Why would you make that choice? If you took a deal, how would you make sure Silver would keep up his end? In a five paragraph essay, explain your choice and be sure to use support from the text.

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.
