Read the following excerpt from frederick douglass's narrative of the life of
frederick douglass, an american slave:
we were not regularly allowanced. our food was coarse
corn-meal boiled. this was called mush. it was put into a
large wooden tray or trough, and set down upon the
ground. the children were then called, like so many pigs,
and like so many pigs they would come and devour the
mush

opinion of it.

Explanation: something objective is something that is not influenced by personal feelings or opinions. In the given excerpt from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, we can see that he describes what he and other children used to eat, a meal called "the mush" he talks about its characteristics but he doesn't express his opinion about it, this adds power to the story.

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.
