3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how your protagonist changes from the beginning of the story to the end in your Module One short story? Provide at least two specific details from the text to show how the protagonist changes from the beginning of the story to the end.

At the beginning of the story, the protagonist, Waverly, was arguing with her mom, '' 'Bite back your tongue,' scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold bags of salted plums.'' The next time she went to the store, she learned to bite back her tongue and not complain. Doing this, she showed her mom that she deserved the bag of salted plums. This is the same as when she was first learning to play chess. She didn't have any strategy or secrets that would increase her chances of winning. After she lost a few times, she ended up learning strategies, which helped her know good defensive mechanisms to win. “I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all the possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and obscure to a tiring opponent.”

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.
