4. What is the theme in this story? Why? And the story is "To Build a Fire".

The theme in “To build a fire” is that ”Never underestimate Nature” and “Don’t be afraid for help”. In the story the man was traveling alone in freezing temperature and had no one to help him if in case soemthing happens. He was freezing and when he tried to build a fire to warm up, he couldn’t becuase he couldn’t concentrate, now when he finally did succeeded, there was a tree and the snow on it was starting to melt becuase of the fire below and eventually it collapesed putting out the fire. By this point the man had no more matches and couldn’t build another fire and he froze to death. If the man wasn’t alone, he might’ve survived becuase there was someone else there to help him and help him recover. By thinking he’s a man superior than others and thinking that he can withstand freezing tempertures, ironicaly, he died to the cold.

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.
