Can you peer edit this and make it final draft form? the most interesting thing i learned in class was something about christians. i learned that it was wrong during the time of greek beliefs, to practice christianity. another thing i learned is that one of the reasons why the greeks did not agree with christians is because the greeks believed in many gods. in christianity, they only believed in one. a thing i also learned was that greek religion was more focused on war and wealth while christianity was focused on peace. some christians were sent to jail because of their beliefs. i found this interesting because it was suprising. the reason why it was surprising is because in history usually the christians or other forms of christianity did some of the same things as the greeks did.

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.
