Mae Halston's farm was on its last legs. For three generations, her family had managed to till the soil and bring in the crops. Sure, there had been heat waves, but never had a drought plagued them the way it had this summer. Cornstalks looked in August as they might in October-tan and rustling. You'd think they were harvesting popcorn, the kernels were that hard and dry. Mae's only prospect for a cash crop this year was the late batch of broccoli she'd put in last week. If only her prayers would be heard. As she knelt in the fields the rains began. Every drop brought a gift more welcome than water. what's the symbol and what does it mean?

I am not sure about this question sry but u can try asking a tutor u don't need to use any points

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.
