When a sedate content the spirit feels, and no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals; but silent musings urge the mind to seek something, too high for syllables to speak; till the free soul to a composedness charmed, finding the elements of rage disarmed, o’er all below a solemn quiet grown, joys in the inferior world, and thinks it like her own … in these lines from “a nocturnal reverie” by anne finch, how does the natural world charm the speaker to “composedness”? a. the love she has of sunshine makes her focus on her surroundings. b. the connection she feels with nature makes her spirit content. c. the love she has of animals makes her forget her daytime cares. d. the connection she feels to other people makes her long to be with family and friends.

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.
