Read the passage from "two kinds.” in fact, in the beginning, i was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. i pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. i was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. i was like the christ child lifted out of the straw manger, crying with holy indignity. i was cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air. in all of my imaginings, i was filled with a sense that i would soon become perfect. my mother and father would adore me. i would be beyond reproach. i would never feel the need to sulk for anything. ( but sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. "if you don't hurry up and get me out of here, i'm disappearing for good," it warned. "and then you'll always be nothing)."

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.
