This passage is an excerpt of the poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman. In these lines, the author talks to us about his "self." He claims that this is not easy to define, and he tells us that we will therefore struggle to know who he is. However, he also conveys the idea that he will be found everywhere. He asks us to look somewhere else if we fail to find him in a particular place. The author implies in these lines that the self is complex, and that it is an integral part of nature.

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.
