Situation 1 - Below is the poem written by Edgar Lee Masters in 1915: What Happened to Tom Merritt? At first I suspected something She acted so calm and absent-minded. 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. 181.

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.

During the live television performance, Presley was photographed only from the waist up because his motions were considered obscene. "Elvis the Pelvis" began his film career in 1956 with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long term film contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley's films.

Huwag nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan.
