Using vivid imagery, describe a gothic setting that could be symbolic. Your description should be four to six sentences.

I felt very dizzy and decided to go for a walk at midnight. As soon as I slammed the heavy oak door, I felt as if I was being followed. The wind seemed to be speaking to me, but I did not know what it was telling me. I walked past a lone alley and saw an old man murmuring to himself. I walked into the alley for a closer look when, suddenly, the old man looked at me. The last thing I saw before the handkerchief closed around my mouth was the triumphant grin of an evil old man.

Explanation:

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.
