How to display first and last sentence in file

bnkelly (1)
This program is suppose to do the following:
- read a file using fstream
- display each sentence on the screen
- display the first and last sentence in the file (don't forget to add the period back in b/c getline will remove it)
- count the number of words in the file
- display the number of times 'the' is in the program

Based on what I currently have I am not sure how to display the first and last sentence.
