Summarize in your own words how Nate feels up until the point when he meets the commander. Support your answer with details from the story. (the story is called growing)

Explanation:

In the story, Growing, Jacob Anderson describes Nate as a hard worker at home. He helps pick potatoes, but he doesn't want to do that. He wants to do what his brother does. Eben, his brother, is in the military. Nate doesn't want to pick potatoes because he feels it's not a work for a man. " Nate closed his eyes and imagined himself with a musket in his calloused hands. It was the second year and he was no closer to fighting." This explains that he wants to be in the military, but he can't because he is still not at the right age for that job.

After dinner he went outside to get some water. Then a few soilders came into view. They wanted food and shelter. He told his father he'll get water and roast potatoes. "Strangely, he found himself smiling..." It turn out that he might have actually liked his job now.

" He was growing, and someday he would be ready to do a mans job. But right now he realized he had an important job of his own." He found out how to contribute his problem on his own.

what passage

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.
