One way to demonstrate understanding of character and theme is by writing from the perspective of a character. For this assignment, compose a short poem from the perspective of Jem. Your poem should detail his feelings about either a. his father, Atticus or

b. Mrs. Dubose.

The poem must accurately trace the progression of Jem's attitudes and beliefs, highlighting the important events and shifts in his perspective detailed above. Your writing should also sound like Jem, using voice and word choice that reflects the voice and word choice found in the novel. The poem can be a free poem (meaning it does not need to rhyme or follow a particular format). It should be a minimum of twenty-lines in length, have a title, and follow conventional rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

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.
