1. Below is an excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s “Inaugural Address.”

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country as
founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young
Americans into answered the call to service surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear
arms, though, arms we need, not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long
twilight struggle, year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common enemies of
man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North
and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort? In the
long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum
danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any
other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our
country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans, ask not
what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what
America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

And one day I heard the back door shut,
As I entered the front,
and I saw him slink Back of the smoke house into the lot,
And across the field.
And I meant to kill him on sight.
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge,
Without a stick or a stone at hand,
All of a sudden I saw him standing,
Scared to death, holding his rabbits,
And all l could say was,
Don’t, Don’t, Don’t,
As he aimed and fired at my heart.
