Hello, Destiniethomas1, It was for Catch-22 that Joseph Heller used his military experiences as a
primary source, but it should be noted that he incorporated other
several sources as well.
Answer:
Roosevelt is warning isolationists that American democracy will collapse if Germany wins the war.
Explanation:
The 32nd president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the congress on Monday, January 6, 1941. He rightly talked about the four freedom people should enjoy such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
He told Americans to be ready to sacrifice a lot to defend freedom all over the world. He also said that if German wins the war, the government of the United States may fail.

The most appropriate time to include the ending of your story in a book report is, well towards the end. You don't want to end your whole report with just the ending of the story. Tell about the ending of your story, then add your commentary to finish the report. Just keep in mind that when you are writing about the ending of the story in a book report, you don't want to give too much away because the goal is to try and convince your reader to read the book themselves. Also, when you add your commentary, stick to things you observed throughout the book, such as underlying themes, morals, character flaws, etc.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?
a. personification
b. simile
c. metaphor
d. hyperbole
Answer:
The kind of figurative language being used is:
a. personification
Explanation:
<u>Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things.</u> For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.
<u>The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.</u>
