What does the excerpt from Dr. Zhivago on p. 103 tell us about Chris’ goals or aspirations? What is your reaction to this quote?

The quote from Dr. Zhivago shows that Chris’s goal and aspiration is to achieve true happiness, which he realized he could only achieve if he dedicates his life to helping and improving the lives of others.

Explanation:

Chris McCandles believed he could discover true happiness alone in the wild, but the quote from Dr. Zhivago, “And so it turns out that only a life similar to the life of those around us, merging with it without a ripple, is genuine life, and that an unshared happiness is not happiness…and this was most vexing of all.”, made him realized that he could never be truly happy alone.

He wrote “Happiness only real when shared” in the margin next to the quote, which tells us exactly what his goal is all along, and so he decided to go back and dedicate his life to helping others so that he could achieve that true happiness.

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.
