i chose wolf in sheeps clothing but i don't understand how to start it out

The main theme in the fable "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" is that sometimes people are not what they appear to be. The fable refers especifically to people who appear to be very nice, polite and sweet at first, but who actually have bad intentions. A story that shares the same theme is the classic movie "All About Eve." In this story, Eve appears to be very sweet and innocent, and she pretends to want to help her mentor and learn from her. However, Eve actually hopes to replace her, and she is cunning and ambitious. This is a common theme in lots of TV shows and movies, which makes the theme modern.

what is the first step in analyzing or preparing a summary for a piece of literature?

c) describe the setting!

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.
