Part A What is a central idea in the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients"?

Writing is good for mental health. Too much emotional stress can be bad for health.

Writing can help doctors treat patients more effectively. Writing does not take the place of regular medicine.

Reading releases emotional stress. Writing boosts brain function.

Writing and reading are both therapeutic. Writing may have more health benefits than reading.
Question 2
Part B

Which statements from the text best support the answer in Part A?

Select the two correct answers.

"Humans have told stories to feel better through the ages. For example, think of fairy tales that teach moral lessons. Or religious texts that wrestle with valleys of despair and mountains of hope"

"Allison Adelle Hedge Coke . . . grew up in several foster homes, fought cancer and struggled with drug abuse...'I really didn’t believe I would make it through childhood, but the act of writing brought me through,' she says."

"If you have an experience and you sit down and write about it, you can pour that emotion out.”

"In [Angela’s Ashes] the author writes about growing up poor in 1930s and ’40s Ireland. 'Reading books like that makes us feel a little less alone, a little less troubled,' [Coke] says."

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
