Read the excerpt from "Homesick" by Jean Fritz,
Of course it wasn't the same as one of the forty-eight states; still, when we stepped off the President Taft in
Honolulu (where we were to stay a couple of days before going on to San Francisco), we wondered if we could
truthfully say we were stepping on American soil. I said no.
With these sentences, the narrator is
expressing confusion about the relationship between Honolulu and America,
O providing useful background information about Honolulu and San Francisco
O revealing that she and other passengers may have different points of view about America,
asserting that her opinion about America is correct and should be respected by the other passengers.

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.
