Van Gogh had a lot of ups and downs in his life. Take a little bit of time to consider the text and, if necessary, read
more about van Gogh's life, through Internet searches from reliable websites and create a list of the times you
thought were the best times in his life and the times that you thought were the worst. You can think about it both
professionally and personally for him because they might not always be good in both areas or bad in both areas at
the same time. Try to find at least three positive times in his life and at least three negative times in his life. Be as
specific as you can be in your lists.

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.
