Explanation:

The story of Carl McCunn is that of an American photographer who became stranded in an Alaskan wilderness where he had gone to take pictures of wildlife for several months. McCunn failed to make appropriate provisions that would ensure his safe return from the wilderness and this mistake of his eventually made him take his life when he had no more provisions left and no hope of return from the wilderness. His mistakes included;

1. Not making proper arrangements with a pilot that would pick him when he was done with his adventure.

2. Throwing away supplies of shotgun shells that would have sustained him when there was no more food.

3. Not properly informing friends and family of the right steps to take when he was not seen after a specified time.

All of the above mistakes resulted in the failure of McCunn's adventure and the consequent death by taking his life.

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.
