Read this excerpt from through the looking-glass by lewis carroll. “that's right,” said the queen, patting her on the head, which alice didn't like at all, “though, when you say ‘garden,’—i've seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness.” alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: “—and i thought i'd try and find my way to the top of that hill—” “when you say ‘hill,’” the queen interrupted, “i could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.” “no, i shouldn't,” said alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: “a hill can't be a valley, you know. that would be nonsense—” the red queen shook her head, “you may call it ‘nonsense’ if you like,” she said, “but i've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary! ” what do the red queen’s comparisons reveal about her? (a) she thinks that everything she owns or has experienced is better. (b) she does not know what gardens, hills, or nonsense really are. (c) she is a very gracious host to alice and all other visitors. (d) she wishes her kingdom were better than it actually is.

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.
