1. In the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, How
is the poem organized?

Nothing Gold Can Stay was the reflection of the seasonal cycle of nature. The poem though a short one symbolizes what a Mother Nature cannot hold for long the 'Gold' but respects its value/worth.

Explanation:

In this poem, Robert Frost brings out the deep meaning of how few things that are of high value/worth are not treated properly/not respected for their worth. He talks about how Nature (In the poem, he keeps referring it as 'Her') being the Mother of all subjects on Earth.

He starts explaining about the season with a leaf, its color and how it slowly transforms into a bud, turns into a flower and then eventually, a fruit. This cycle, Frost writes in the most metaphorical way for readers to understand what we need to take an advantage of and what we must value, accordingly.

This poem is a classic example of how humans forget what is worthy as we can find it everywhere and look out for things that we do not have in our surroundings.

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.
