Sunday morning early poem

Sunday Morning Early

My daughter and I paddle red kayaks

across the lake. Pulling hard,

we slip through the water.

Far from either shore,

my daughter is a young woman

and suddenly everything is a metaphor

for how short a time we are granted:  

the red boats on the blue black water,

the russet and gold of late summer’s grasses,

the empty sky. We stop and listen to the stillness.

I say, “It’s Sunday, and here we are

in the church of the out of doors,”

then wish I’d kept quiet.  That’s the trick in life—

learning to leave well enough alone.

Our boats drift to where the chirring

of grasshoppers reaches us from the rocky hills.

A clap of thunder.  I want to say something truer

than I love you.  I want my daughter to know that,

through her, I live a life that was closed to me.

I paddle up, lean out, and touch her hand.

I start to speak then stop.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.
