Pick one of the gifts left in the tree in front of the Radley house and explain why it would be valuable to Jem and Scout.

In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Jem and Scout receive some gifts from Boo Radley. He wants to befriend the children, and he believes them to be kind. However, because of his isolation, he cannot find a way to do so. Eventually he leaves some gifts for the children in a tree. One of these gifts is a watch, most likely intended for Jem. This is a useful gift for him, as he likes Atticus's watch, but does not have one of his own.

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.
