Annie Dillard demonstrates a keen awareness of sounds, finding deeper meaning in them, in her memoir An American Childhood. Now it's your turn. Using the memoir as a model, write a personal narrative about a time when you were deeply moved by a sensory experience. Perhaps you were at a concert and were affected by the sounds you heard. Perhaps you were on a nature walk and saw or smelled a field of flowers you will never forget Describe the sensory experience through the use of descriptive details and figurative language, and explain why it has a special meaning to you. Use the first-person ("I") point of view to tell your true story. Also, use narrative details to develop the experience and to sequence the events. Use quotations from the memoir to compare Dillard's experience to your own. Provide a strong introduction and a conclusion that reflects on what you learned from the experience.​

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.
