The Bat, the Birds and the Beasts A great conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armi were collected together, the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said, "Come with us." But he said, "I am a Beast." Later on, some Beasts who were passing undernea him looked up and said, "Come with us." But he said, "I am a Bird." Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. adapted from "The Bat, the Birds and the Beasts" by Aesop Which statement best describes the theme of this passage?

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.

explanation:

the correct answer is: reveal gregor as an untidy individual.

in metamorphosis by franz kafka, gregor samsa is the main character, who one day wakes up as a bug, and the attitude he takes upon his transformation forces him to go deeper on his existence and the new features of his body.

in this excerpt the writer mentions a table full of collection textile samples, which gives us a hint about gregor being messy. later on the book we discover how he is a really untidy individual.
