Mrs. dalloway - by virginia woolf (excerpt) for it was the middle of june. the war was over, except for some one like mrs. foxcroft at the embassy last night eating her heart out because that nice boy was killed and now the old manor house must go to a cousin; or lady bexborough who opened a bazaar, they said, with the telegram in her hand, john, her favourite, killed; but it was over; heaven—over. it was june. the king and queen were at the palace. how does the passage convey a specific image of people reacting to the end of the war? a. the narration focuses on individuals who lost loved ones in the war to heighten the tragic sense of their loss. b. the narration weaves in the thoughts of people who have a variety of feelings about the war. c. the narration mocks people because some grieve the loss of loved ones while others take comfort in the return of order. d. the stream of consciousness technique to show how jubilant the british people were in the aftermath of the war.

what are the choses?

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.
