Read the excerpt from “raymond's run.” but once i spread my fingers in the dirt and crouch over the get on your mark, the dream goes and i am solid again and am telling myself, squeaky you must win, you must win, you are the fastest thing in the world, you can even beat your father up amsterdam if you really try. and then i feel my weight coming back just behind my knees then down to my feet then into the earth and the pistol shot explodes in my blood and i am off and weightless again, flying past the other runners, my arms pumping up and down and the whole world is quiet except for the crunch as i zoom over the gravel in the track. which theme is shown most clearly in this excerpt? a. dreaming can be a distraction from achieving goals. b. reality can often times seem like a dream. c. winning is proof that a person has worked hard. d. success is possible if one truly believes in oneself.

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.
