Read the excerpt from the canterbury tales. "but, sirs, it is not courteous of you to speak so roughly to an old man, who has not offended you by word or deed. it’s there in holy writ for you to read: "thou shalt rise up before the hoary head of an old man"—and therefore do no harm, i warn you, to an old man while you’re young, any more than you’d like to have it done to you in old age, should you live so long. now god be with you! i go where i must go." how is the old man characterized in this excerpt? as an adventurer eager to join the youth

as a sage counselor reproving the youth

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the old man shows outrage at youth's attitudes toward his elders. The old man believes that young people are disrespectful, inconsequential, impatient, and do not value the word of their elders, but rather reprove and close their ears and their memtes for the advice of the wisest. The old man states that young people have forgotten that one day they will be old and so should treat their elders the way they would like to be treated in the future. In short, the old man is described as a wise counselor who reproves youth.

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.
