In only daughter, what does the following paragraph mainly reveal about the
author's father?
being only a daughter for my father meant my destiny would lead me to become
someone's wife. that's what he believed. but when i was in fifth grade and shared
my plans for college with him, i was sure he understood. i remember my father
saying, "que bueno, mi'ja that's good." that meant a lot to me, especially since my
brothers thought the idea hilarious. what i didn't realize was that my father thought
college was good for girls-for finding a husband. after four years in college and two
more in graduate school, and still no husband, my father shakes his head even now
and says i wasted all that education.

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.
