Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

by William Kamkwamba.

Which fact about Malawi helps the reader understand what

the excerpt is mostly about?

The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the

magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity. Attach a wire

to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a

bulb. All I needed was a windmill, and then I could have

lights. No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and

sent us gasping for breath. With a windmill, I could stay

awake at night reading instead of going to bed at seven

with the rest of Malawi.

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.
