(1) television changed my family forever. (2) we stopped eating dinner at the dining-room table after my mother found out about tv trays. (3) we kept the tv trays behind the kitchen door and served ourselves from pots on the stove. (4) setting and clearing the dining-room table used to be my job; now, setting and clearing meant unfolding and wiping our tv trays, then, when we’d finished, wiping and folding our tv trays. (5) dinner was served in time for one program and finished in time for another. (6) during dinner we used to talk to one another. (7) now television talked to us. (8) if you had something you absolutely had to say, you waited until the commercial, which is, i suspect, where i learned to speak in thirty-second bursts. (9) as a future writer, it was good practice in editing my thoughts. (10) as a little girl, it was lonely as hell. (11) once in a while, i’d pass our dining-room table and stop, thinking i heard our ghosts sitting around talking to one another, saying stuff. source: move on,  an autobiographical book by linda ellerbee.. we can infer that when ellerbee imagined ghosts, she? a. was remembering better times with her family.  b. was scared of passing by the dining room.  c. realized her childhood home was haunted.

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.
