Which theme is reflected in the passage? but anguish lies ahead; the god who thunders on the land prepares it, not to be shaken from your track, implacable, in rancor for the son whose eye you blinded. one narrow strait may take you through his blows: denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates. when you make landfall on thrinakia first and quit the violet sea, dark on the land you'll find the grazing herds of helios by whom all things are seen, all speech is known. avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent, and hard seafaring brings you all to ithaka. but if you raid the beeves, i see destruction for ship and crew. it is important to take responsibility for your actions. long-term goals are more important than short-term gains. the true measure of wisdom is overcoming your pride. the advantage of travel is that it teaches you to value home.

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.
