Discussion topic
in this unit, you have been exploring how authors
use informational texts to communicate with
audiences. you've also seen how authors
communicate their point of view, tone, and
purpose in a text
when a writer composes a text, that writer takes
time and thought to shape the text so the
elements work in harmony. that is, the point of
view, tone, and purpose all contribute to a unified
message. but what about more informal writing
and conversations? they usually aren't carefully
planned out like an essay. think of some
examples of informal writing or a conversation
you can recall well. describe how clearly they
express a unified point of view, tone, and
purpose. compare them to at least one formal
informational text. discuss why you think the two
modes of communicating are different or the
same.

the answer is: round.

in literature, round characters are considerably complex and experience or are subjected to unpleasant situations. as a consequence, they go through crucial sentimental and psychological development, which can cause surprise in the readers. in this case, juan's dramatic transformation is related to the adversities he meets at school.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

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.
