Explanation:

"Chrysanthemums" is a short story that features the lonely and boring life of Elisa Allen. She feels her life is frustrated and undervalued as all the things she dreamed of never happened and seems lost to her. Elisa has never been able to have a child and feels that her husband does not love her or even support her. Furthermore, she has no freedom and lives in an endless monotony, using gardening as the only way to stay distracted. Elisa is very impatient when a man insists on selling her scissors. She doesn't want new scissors as this is irrelevant to her life and all the frustrations she experiences. For this reason, she speaks impatiently, expressing all her frustration that she doesn't need scissors, as all the ones she has are already sharp.

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.

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
