In the rising action, how does the beech tree falling on the men in "the interlopers" change how von gradwitz and znaeym feel about each other? the men are trapped close together, and their pain and frustration intensify their anger toward each other. the men become more compassionate, and each man worries more about the other's injuries than his own. the men realize they are in the same predicament, and their powerlessness makes them more willing to make amends. the men realize they are no different from each other, and it changes their desire to compete with each other.

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.
