Which is the theme of the passage? "I glared at Kristina reproachfully throughout our first-period Spanish class the next morning. She had responded to none of my calls or texts nor my outraged e-mail, and this morning she studiously avoided meeting my eyes, doubtlessly glad that the alphabetical seating arrangement meant that she was across the room from me.

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.
