Jacob is writing a narrative about cooking dinner for his family. Read the following excerpt from his narrative: I turned on the heat to warm the olive oil. The oil’s fruity fragrance began to fill the air. It was soon joined by the sharp tang of chopped onions and garlic as I tossed them in the pan. They sizzled softly as I stirred them with a spatula. They browned and softened in the heat. Next I added rich, red chunks of tomatoes. My mouth watered, waiting for the sauce, made from my grandmother’s cherished recipe, to cook.

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.
