Paris: this is that banish'd haughty montague,
that murder'd my love's cousin, with which grief,
it is supposed, the fair creature died;
and here is come to do some villanous shame
to the dead bodies: i will apprehend him.
(comes forward)
stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile montague!
can vengeance be pursued further than death?
condemned villain, i do apprehend thee:
obey, and go with me; for thou must die.
romeo: i must indeed; and therefore came i hither.
good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
let them affright thee. i beseech thee, youth,
put not another sin upon my head,
by urging me to fury: o, be gone!
by heaven, i love thee better than myself;
for i come hither arm'd against myself:
stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
a madman's mercy bade thee run away.
paris: i do defy thy conjurations,
and apprehend thee for a felon here.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, we can see an example of a person vs person conflict, specifically between Paris and Romeo.

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.
