1 And all this while the war went on, but seemed far from them, so seldom
did any tidings of it pierce the seclusion in which they dwelt. By and by, as
the autumn went on, they learned a little more. Fugitives coming to the
smithy for a horse's shoe; women fleeing to their old village homes from
their light, happy life in the city; mandates from the government of defense
sent to every hamlet in the country; stray news-sheets brought in by carriers
or hawkers and hucksters, -all these by degrees told them of the peril of
their country,-vaguely, Indeed, and seldom truthfully, but so that by
mutilated rumors they came at last to know the awful facts of the fate of

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
