Read the excerpt from warriors don't cry. just before the court hearing where governor faubus would be called to account, the nine of us were summoned to mrs. bates's house to meet with the press. nothing had changed since our last meeting. the troops were still in place around the school, and every morning the crowd of segregationists grew larger. governor faubus was still predicting violence. several very dignified and important-looking men sat in her living room. one was the naacp attorney, wiley branton. i recognized another man whose picture i'd seen in the newspapers: the famous lawyer thurgood marshall, the man who had delivered the argument that resulted in the supreme court's 1954 school integration ruling. what is the author’s purpose for including these details? to entertain readers with related stories to entertain readers with colorful descriptions to inform readers about historical context to inform readers about her town’s violent past

The author's purpose for including these details seems to be: to inform readers about historical context.

The historical context is of extreme importance in Warriors Don't Cry, by Melba Patillo Beals. She narrates the true story of the group known as the Little Rock Nine. She and the other eight African Americans part of the group were the first black people to attend Little Rock High School, in Arkansas. It's crucial to have information on the historical context to properly understand the importance of Melba's story and what a vital accomplishment it was in times of segregation.

C is the correct choice!!!

Explanation:

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.
