What theme is common to the two excerpts below?
1. his theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in it: he lacked the endurance several times he
stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. when he tried to rise, he failed. he must sit and rest, he decided, and next
time he would merely walk and keep on going. as he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and
comfortable. he was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. and yet, when he
touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. running would not thaw them out. nor would it thaw out his hands and feet.
then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. he tried to keep this thought down, to forget
it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. but the thought
asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen.
(jack london, to build a fire)
2. presently the boat also passed to the left of the correspondent with the captain clinging with one hand to the keel. he would have
appeared like a man raising himself to look over a board fence, if it were not for the extraordinary gymnastics of the boat. the
correspondent marvelled that the captain could still hold to it.
they passed on, nearer to shore-the oiler, the cook, the captain-and following them went the water-jar, bouncing gayly over the
seas.
the correspondent remained in the grip of this strange new enemy-a current. the shore, with its white slope of sand and its green
bluff, topped with little silent cottages, was spread like a picture before him. it was very near to him then, but he was impressed as
one who in a gallery looks at a scene from brittany or algiers.
he thought: "i am going to drown? can it be possible? can it be possible? can it be possible? " perhaps an individual must consider
his own death to be the final phenomenon of nature."
(stephen crane, the open boat)

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.

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.
