Explanation:

When evaluating text, it is more important to analyze how the author is using different techniques, elements, and structures to convey his message. As long as the reader can clearly understand the text, then it does not matter how the reader feels as long as they got the message. An author can put thousands of hours researching; still, if his/her writing is not clear enough for the reader to understand, then he/she will need to improve the writing by using different elements.

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.
