(the scene opens on a room full of people. there are photographs lining the table, and each one shows the same person at various stages of life. there are pictures of him as a young boy, other pictures of him on athletic teams, family pictures, and a graduation picture. that same young man stands in the middle of the room, shaking hands with an adult. he then turns to address the group.) jesse: (loudly) you so much for coming. i am so glad you could all be here today. this is too much. (he looks around, indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake.) guest: we wouldn’t miss it! we heard there would be cake. . jesse: there is! but first, i want to all of you for the support you’ve given me throughout school. you’ve me study, earn money, and stay out of trouble, and finish school. (he pauses, stepping in front of the table and looking at his parents.) i could never have done it without you. which setting detail reveals the celebratory mood? “there are photographs lining the table, and each one shows the same person at various stages of life.” “that same young man stands in the middle of the room, shaking hands with an adult.” “he looks around, indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake.” “he pauses, stepping in front of the table and looking at his parents.”

The following setting detail reveals the celebratory mood: “He looks around, indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake.”

This sentence describes the surroundings; in this case, the way the room was decorated for a party. "Streamers," "balloons" and "cake" are what you traditionally find at a birthday party, for example.

Since this is a play, stage directions like this one tell the director what kind of props to put on stage to create the party mood required for the scene.

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.
