Read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet. romeo: well, in that hit you miss: she’ll not be hit with cupid’s arrow; she hath dian’s wit; and, in strong proof of chastity well arm’d, from love’s weak childish bow she lives unharm’d. the fact that this dialogue contains elements of a shakespearean sonnet emphasizes romeo’s longing for the woman he is describing. disdain for benvolio’s intrusive questions. wish that benvolio could also experience love. skepticism about the idea of being in love.

Longing for the woman he is describing.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo ad Juliet" is a famous love story between two ill-fated teenagers whose family feud led them to their deaths. The love that they had for each other was so great that they did not even cared for what their actions may lead to, making it such a tragic story but a great example of true love.

Based on the excerpt in the question from Act I scene i of the play, we find Romeo, the male protagonist heart broken over a girl he loves but who did not love him back. He is seen describing the pangs of love, the longing and the despair he felt with her (who, by the way, is Rosalind) refusal to accept his love. Instead, he told us that she's going to stay a virgin and not commit to anyone, which deeply hurts Romeo.

Sonnets are poems written by lovers to praise the beauty of their mistresses and marvel on their every being. This speech of Romeo's also is like a sonnet for he is in awe and praise of the woman he loves and wants to get her love too. The sonnet elements contained in the speech lay emphasis on the deep longing Romeo has for Rosalind, the woman he is describing.

is there a story?

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.
