Read the excerpt from Act 2 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

68. MED. CLOSE SHOT – CHARLIE 68.

On the front porch as a rock thrown from the group smashes a window alongside of him, the broken glass flying past him. A couple of pieces cutting him. He stands there perspiring, rumpled, blood running down from a cut on the cheek. His wife breaks away from the group to throw herself into his arms. He buries his face against her. We can see the crowd converging on the porch now.

VOICES

It must have been him.
He's the one.
We got to get Charlie.

Another rock lands on the porch. Now Charlie pushes his wife behind him, facing the group.

Where is Charlie standing as this scene takes place?

in the street
in his home
on his front porch
on the sidewalk

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.
