accepting disappointment

Explanation:

Maureen Daly’s short story Sixteen tells the even in the young girl’s life and how she fell in love. The author writes in the first person and describes how the girl met the boy on the skating ring, liked him really much, and how he told her he’ll call her when they parted.

Yet, at the end of the story, we learned that the boy never called her back. After a few days of waiting, the narrator tells us she doesn’t jump at the sound of the phone anymore. Finally, she realizes the boy won’t ever actually call her and ends the story with acceptance of this realization.

It wraps up with the idea that things in life don’t always end up how we want and that we must understand that disappointment is a part of life. This important lesson is part of growing up. Therefore, the concluding theme of Sixteen is accepting disappointment.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
