Read the excerpts from Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms" speech and Lincoln’s "Gettysburg Address.”

Roosevelt:

This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

Lincoln:

To be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

In these excerpts, Roosevelt states "this nation has placed its destiny” and Lincoln states "shall not perish from earth.” With these phrases, both presidents are stressing the importance of

achieving victory no matter what the cost.
ending the war as quickly as possible.
preserving freedom far into the future.

On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a

strange menu. She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The

kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy rock cod with

bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil. Tofu, which

looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. A howl soaking dried fungus

back to life. A plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife markings so they

resembled bicycle tires.
