Decomposers such as fungi and bacteria are important to the cycle of life on Earth. These organisms return nutrients to the soil by feeding on dead matter. The
nutrients, including carbon and nitrogen, are locked into the tissues of every plant or
animal. As a decomposer feeds on a dead organism, it digests that organism's
tissue. It then releases nourishing by-products from the organism into the soil.
Those by-products are absorbed by new plant growth, which in turn supports both
plant-eating and meat-eating animals.
How is this explanation of how decomposers return nourishing substances to the
soil effective?

b. his ability to use formal language to stress strong feelings

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.
