Answer:
What exemplifies these men as heroes, as described by Hemingway, is:
D. They act casually and go about regular business, such as smoking, while actually in grave danger.
Explanation:
"A Farewell to Arms" is a novel by author Ernest Hemingway narrated from a first-person perspective. The narrator is Frederic Henry, an American lieutenant who is serving in Italy during the first World War.
This particular excerpt shows how the men are able to keep a cool head even though they know an attack is about to happen. That is what distinguishes heroes from those they protect. While regular people would feel nervous or scared, would run away to escape danger, heroes are able to remain calm. To show that, Hemingway describes how easily they go about regular business, such as smoking, as if danger is not lurking.
Science fiction is a type of literature that is based upon a
made-up reality—a fantasy, if you will—of the future and technologically
advanced societies. The story, “Reality
Check,” by David Brin, has quite a few elements that qualify it as science
fiction. For one, the story takes place
some time in the distant future. We know
this because there is a reference to the past year of 2147 when “the last of
their race died.” Additionally, the
story begins by assuming the reader is some type of computer-human hybrid by
the way it requests the reader to “pattern-scan” the story “for embedded code
and check it against the reference verifier in the blind spot of [the] left
eye.” Further, the narrator discloses
toward the end of the story how his people have a “machine-enhanced ability to
cast thoughts far across the cosmos.” The
story represents a dystopian society, or at least a society that is deemed to
be failed and dystopian by the narrator.
This is evidenced by the narrator’s reference to his planet as “The
Wasteland” and how he discloses how much of his “population wallows in
simulated, marvelously limited sub-lives.” As the story concludes, it is made clear how
unhappy his society is when it is stated that they have been “snared in [a] web
of ennui.” Because of these loathsome
descriptions of his society, it seems quite impossible that the society could be
anything near a utopia thus could only be seen to be dystopian.
I believe your answer is B.
Answer:
An aside is a short speech, passage or phrase uttered by a particular character in a drama or play. The dialogue or phrase spoken by the character is meant to be heard by the audience but not by the other characters on the stage. In Shakespearean tragedies, in particular, asides are spoken in an undertone to give a glimpse into the character’s thoughts and intentions to bridge the gap between the audience and the character delivering the aside. In “Romeo and Juliet”, asides are delivered by a variety of characters.
