1. what is the mood and tone with evidence from the text; My grandpa is a mountain,
Brooding, looming, tall.
I stand in his shadow, silent as a stone.
Rattling rusty paint cans,
He gestures toward the shed. I gape
That shed's a squat gray mushroom,
Needing more than paint to fix.
The old man's hands are vises,
Prying open paint cans lightning fast.
Astonished, awed, I gasp aloud,
"Red, yellow, green-and PURPLE!"
My words explode like fireworks.
Anticipating anger,
my mouth shuts like a trap.
Grandpa merely dips his brush,
Paints a horse and hound.
"The horse I harnessed as a boy,
The dog was mine too.
Impulse strikes- a flash of fire.
I seize a brush,
Soon swishing, swirling pictures.
With each stroke, a story.
My words painting pictures.
We share that shed like one vast canvas,
His strokes to mine, my words to his.
We step back, gazing at the stories told.

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.
