Which two sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers' reluctance to talk about their war experiences?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ambush

by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)

When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war, she knew I'd been a soldier. "You keep

writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say,

"Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday. I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a

grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was

absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories:

Symptoms

by John Steinbeck (excerpt)

if they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters. They would discuss

their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was

thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these

men had no such consideration in any other field.

Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the

the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

"We shall get thinner and thinner and thirstier and thirstier, and we shall all die a slow and grisly death from starvation. I am dying already. I am slowly shriveling up for want of food."

This sentence is an example of what type of figurative language?


Metaphor

Oxymoron

Imagery

Hyperbole

Answers

Answer:

Imagery.

Explanation:

Figurative language is the use of certain ways of talking about things or events in a text. These figurative elements allow a writer to give certain aspects of describing things.

The given lines from Roald Dahl's "James and The Giant Peach" shows Earthworm describing to the Centipede how they will die. Earthworm's use of words such as "get thinner and thinner and thirstier and thirstier . . .a slow and grisly death from starvation. . . I am slowly shriveling up. . ." provides a descriptive image of how they will look.

Thus, the correct answer is imagery.

What should the first paragraph of a personal narrative accomplish, if nothing else? Include an explanation.

It should announce the writer's name.

It should establish a point of view.

It should provide clues about the ending.

It should describe the setting in detail

Answers

Answer: It should establish a point of view

Explanation:

A personal narrative tells the story of an event from a first hand perspective of the person who is telling the narrative.

This narrative will therefore take a point of view that is that of the narrator. The first paragraph being the introduction, must therefore at least show this point of view so that the reader might know where the narrator observed the event from.

Write a sentence beginning with three "if" clauses, using parallel structure.

Answers

Parallel structure, or parallelism, means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. Words and phrases within a sentence should not only match in structure, but also in tense. Writers use parallel structure to add clarity to their writing, make it easier to understand and show that their writing is structurally and grammatically correct. Explore parallel structure examples to better understand the concept.
