The renaissance of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in england saw a great dramatic revival of the old greek and roman classics and a new interest in a native british drama. english playwrights seized the opportunity to combine the best of these two drama forms to create the elizabethan and jacobean drama, the best in english literature and possibly in the world (schultz 88). chief among these playwrights was william shakespeare, the most respected playwright of all time. the theater of this period was quite popular. though the actors were still all men, the masks had disappeared; and costumes, props, and sets had taken their place (mccredie 21). during the renaissance, the theater began to come of age ("renaissance" 4). although drama had its ups and downs in the years that followed, it was at last firmly established as an acceptable and valuable form of literature. what is the purpose of this paragraph?

there is no passage what do you mean?

give me the passage and i will answer your question

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.
