Read this excerpt from a story.

Juan coasted down the hill, gaining speed. He executed the turn toward the basketball courts with ease, adjusting his weight on the board. Up ahead, he could see Kev and Sean, but neither one was skating. They were slumped on a bench. When he reached them, he asked, "What's going on?"

"They did it, man. They posted the sign," Kev replied. Sure enough, a new "No Skateboarding" sign had been erected beside the basketball court.

"Not again. I thought this court was a good spot. It's not like we are damaging the asphalt," Juan complained.

"I know. And the pickup games never start until after 5:00. This court will be empty for another two hours," Sean added.

"Soon there won't be anywhere to skate in the whole town."

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.
