I WILL GIVE 69 POINTS TO WHOEVER FIGURES THIS OUT BUT YOU HAVE TO HURRY Thank you <3
1. Steinbeck decides that he must travel around America if he wants to be a good American writer. What life experience might he have had that would give him this perspective?

3. Based on the excerpt you read, do you think Steinbeck's purpose was more to inform or to entertain? Use details to support your answer.

4. You've read only part of the first section of Steinbeck's account, but based on what you've read, what message do you think he is setting up to communicate to his reader? Why do you think this?

5. Describe one inference you were able to make from explicit or implicit details in the text. Does the inference contribute to your expectations about what will happen later in the book?

no

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)
