Revisit the excerpt from the play that you read earlier. which parts of the excerpt best exemplify the theme that human nature is torn between good and evil?

Faustus is torn between good and evil at several points in the play. The story starts with Faustus thinking about which subject to pursue. His options fall under two categories—those that are consistent with a useful, productive life, and black magic, which can apparently satisfy his need for power. He chooses black magic.

When Faustus tries to sign his contract with Lucifer with his blood, his blood thickens and solidifies. This makes Faustus hesitate momentarily. He wonders, “What might the staying of my blood portend?/ Is it unwilling I should write this bill?”

The good angel and the evil angel both try to influence his decisions. The good angel represents the desire in human nature to be good and repent for sins, while the bad angel represents sinfulness and a disregard for the consequences of sin.

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.
