What evidence is there in the first stanza of the poem that the speaker is giving advice? To whom is the speaker giving advice? Cite textual evidence to support your answer.

Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. however, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to know who the speaker is advising with reading the poem, however, if the speaker does not quote someone during the poem, it means that he is advising the reader. It is possible to know that the speaker is giving advice if the poem presents imperative phrases, which are stages in which the speaker makes requests or gives advice. These sentences are usually ended with an exclamation mark (!).

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.
