The first epic is the story of a soldier who got lost at sea and sailed for many years before finding his way home. while he was gone, his family struggled financially. knowing how much their father valued his ancestors’ homeland, his children refused bribes of food and money offered in exchange for the land. they preferred to live humbly and proudly. upon his return, their father’s joy was boundless, which his sons and daughters. the second epic is the story of a great leader and prince who was banished from his home by an evil cousin. while traveling and living a simple life in the forest, the prince met and married a princess. despite their royal backgrounds, neither of them minded living safely hidden in the forest. this humility saved their lives on a number of occasions, and their great happiness did not depend on living in a castle. when comparing these two myths, what qualities do both myth-tellers seem to value? physical strength and agility cleverness and wit humility and humbleness

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.
