Explanation:

"First Love," written by Judith Ortiz Cofer, tells the story of a 14-year-old girl who is in love with a boy older than her. Because of her desire to be with the boy she loves, the girl does everything she can to see him, to be near him and to be noticed. Although she tries very hard, she is never noticed by the boy, who lives a phase of life very different from hers and has other interests. Even in love disappointment, the girl understands the true meaning of love and goes on with her life with the lesson that people don't always get what they want and it's okay not to get what they want because the future is a surprise box and Better things can come up at any time.

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.
