Prompt 1:   I think that Herbert's death and the subsequent 200-pound payment is a direct result of Mr. White's wish.

Mr. White was motivated to make a wish because he didn't trust his friend that said to destroy it. He didn't think that anything bad would happen.

Yes, I would. But I would try to wish for something that Would not have a big effect of anything bad happening. But on the other hand, don't try to change what's SUPPOSED to happen.

The whites should destroy the paw.

I would destroy the paw.

Fossils are formed in different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.

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.
