Hi there. I have a creative writing piece due, and I would appreciate it if anyone could help improve this piece of work to both interest a reader more and improve my level of writing. 'To be heartbroken, by definition, is to be suffering from overwhelming distress. To be overcome by sorrow. The emotional stress or pain that one feels at experiencing great and deep longing. To be inconsolable. And yet, Ophelia Özcan would not describe her heartbreak using any given dictionary definition. She would express her broken heart as poisoned. Poisoned by an emotion stronger than any other, an emotion believed to conquer all. An emotion so intense, so intoxicating, that its very existence is enough had ruined her. That emotion being the toxin of love. The toxin had coursed through her veins, minute by minute reaching closer to the heart as it seethed through. Each drop, each fluster of love that flowed through her blood; it darkened her heart as it continued to pump. Her loves venom was vigorous, it hadn't just tainted her heart, it aimed to corrupt her entirely. You see, once her heart had been blackened, the love that she possessed continued. It continued until her heart had been completely torn apart, until all that could be felt was her clustered chest, until the joys of love were replaced with the despairs of rage.'

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.
