I 4. Justin was jealous of his cousin Cassie when she was named valedictorian of her class. "Some people are
just born smart," he told himself later as he watched TV on the couch. He had not been with Cassie all those
times when she studied late into the night. Justin was also jealous when his cousin Victor was elected class
president. "Some people are just more popular than others," Justin told himself as he played video games on
the couch. He had not been with Victor while he tirelessly campaigned. Justin never noticed that Victor
treated everyone he knew with kindness and respect. When Justin's cousin Matthew became the varsity
quarterback, again Justin was envious. "Some people are just more athletic than others," he told himself as he
played on his computer. Justin had not been with Matthew while he trained morning and night. Justin had
never attended the long weekend practices with Matthew: "One day something lucky will happen to me too."
Justin told himself as he snacked on junk food.

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.
