Topic: whether a dog or cat will be a better pet paragraph topic 1: friendliness dogs are warm and friendly. cats are standoffish and independent. cats don’t make as much noise as barking dogs. paragraph topic 2: protection most cats are not known to protect homes from intruders, and rarely will a “beware of cat” sign be displayed on a fence. dogs are protective and bark to warn intruders to stay away. paragraph topic 3: care cats are self-sufficient; they can take care of themselves as long as food is left out for them. dogs need a lot of attention and care. they have to be let out or walked regularly, and they have to be watched—especially when they are puppies—so they don’t chew furniture. what kind of organizational structure is used to compare the two animals in this outline? the development of each subject over a period of time is discussed. several aspects of one subject are discussed, then the aspects of the other subject are examined. each point of comparison is discussed in turn. general aspects of each subject are discussed, then the specifics.

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.
