read the following excerpt from f. scott fitzgerald's
the great gatsby
:
i spent my saturday nights in new york, because those gleaming,
dazzling parties of his were with me so vividly that i could still hear the
music and the laughter, faint and incessant, from his garden, and the
cars going up and down his drive. one night i did hear a material car
there, and saw its lights stop at his front steps. but i didn't investigate.
probably it was some final guest who had been away at the ends of
the earth and didn't know that the party was over.

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.
