Read the poem below and complete the instruction that follows. “Tattoo” by Gregg Shapiro My father won’t talk about the numbers 3-7-8-2-5 between the wrist and elbow blue as blood on his left forearm Instead, he spreads himself over me spilling his protection, like acid, until it burns I wear him like a cloak, sweat under the weight There were stories in the lines on his face the nervous blue flash in his eyes his bone-crushing hugs I am drowning in his silence trying to stay afloat on curiosity Questions choke me and I swallow hard We don’t breathe the same air speak the same language live in the same universe We are continents, worlds apart I am sorry my life has remained unscathed His scars still bleed, his bruises don’t fade If I could trade places with him I would pad the rest of his days wrap him in gauze and velvet absorb the shocks and treat his wounds I would scrub the numbers from his flesh extinguish the fire and give him back his life Analyze the way in which “Tattoo” by Gregg Shapiro is related to the issues of a historical time period.

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.
