This man did not know cold. possibly all the generations of
his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold, of cold
one hundred and seven degrees below freezing-point. but
the dog knew; all its ancestry knew, and it had inherited the
knowledge. and it knew that it was not good to walk
abroad in such fearful cold. it was the time to lie snug in a
hole in the snow and wait for a curtain of cloud to be
drawn across the face of outer space whence this cold
came.
based on the evidence in this passage from "to build a fire," which statement
is the best example of the theme?

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
