Read the excerpt from "I'm Not Thirteen Yet" by Amy Bernstein.

Right away, Margaret was kneeling next to me. "Are you okay? Are you okay?" she asked. "Richard, you big jerh what were you thinking? This is my best friend, and if you want to mess with someone, don't pick her. Oh—and you stink at soccer!"

At this point, I was lying on my back, and my head shot up when I heard the words "best friend." I squinted and saw Margaret standing above me. She extended her hand. She was ready to help me up. She grinned. From then on, I knew who my best friend was. She didn't care what age I was, and never would. To this day, we both have the framed picture of us at the bus stop that first day of camp.

Explanation:

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.
