Which information from this passage about Enkai is most
important to include in a summary of the overall story?
be
T he tribe's relationship with Enkai is crucial to them.
O
The tribe's behavior affects Enkai's mood.
Our relationship with Enkai is essential to the tribe. Enkai is
neither male nor female. The sky god is powerful, but can
change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our
behavior. Sometimes Enkai is Enkai Narok, the Black God,
happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that
pour out rain to nourish the plains. When angry, though,
Enkai becomes Enkai Nonyokie--the Red God. In these
times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up
and becomes barren. Because of this, we work to keep
Enkai happy.
O Enkai has moods that are reflected in the weather.
O Enkai can be the Black God or the Red God.

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.
