What is Martha struggling with most at this point in the story?
Read the passage from "The Book of Martha."
bel
Worse and worse, Martha thought, and she actually felt
nauseous with fear. She turned away from God,
hugging herself, suddenly crying, tears streaming down
her face. After a while, she sniffed and wiped her face
on her hands, since she had nothing else. "What will
you do to me if I refuse?" she asked, thinking of Job
and Jonah in particular.
"Nothing." God didn't even sound annoyed. "You won't
refuse."
"But what if I do? What if I really can't think of anything
worth doing?"
"That won't happen. But if it did somehow, and if you
asked, I would send you home. After all, there are
millions of human beings who would give anything to
do this work."
If she decides not to help God, then God will punish
her for the rest of her life.
If she cannot think of anything worth doing, she'll
wipe out whole segments of the population.
If she decides not to help God, then someone else
might help and do horrible things.
O If she does the wrong thing, then God will refuse to
let anyone else help humanity.

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.
