Explanation: The excerpt provided has been taken from the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller.

The excerpt provided belongs to Act I and the words included in it are pronounced by Reverend Hale, a minister who has a great knowledge of witchcraft and travels to Salem to investigate the women accused of being witches. Throughout the play, he is presented as a calm and idealistic man who avoids jumping to conclusions ("we must look only for his proper signs and judge nothing beforehand").

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.
