what is the story's setting?

Who are the story's main characters?

When does the story take place?

Explanation:

These are important questions to ask your self while reading to better understand the text. The question how long is the story won't help you answer any questions based on the content of the text.

All but the third one.

Explanation:

Asking about the setting, characters, and when the story takes place would help the reader understand the story more. If the story took place in the 1900s, then the characters and settings would be different compared to a story in modern day.

"How long is this story?" would be incorrect because knowing the duration of the story does not contribute to the story in anyway. In other words, learning that a story is 5 min long is not important.

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.
