The pilot's characteristics and his main reasons for obeying the rules of the EDS (in three sentences) are the following:

Barton, the pilot in "The Cold Equations", by Tom Goldwin, is really faithful to his job and lives by the logic of the cold equations, even if it requires the death of another being.As a commited pilot, his responsibility is to preserve the mission, that is to say, to land safely at destination, and it is known that by law, all EDS stowaways (in this case Marilyn) will be jettisoned because such vessels contain only the necessary fuel to carry the cargo and the pilot.Carrying Marilyn with him (adding extra weight to the EDS) would've meant to fail the mission and die in space with her; so the only thing that saved him from his moral conflict (letting her die so young) was to stick to the law and act upon it, no matter the consequences.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Answer from: Quest

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.
