Answer:

Vietnamese war.

Explanation:

Tim O'Brien's short story "Ambush" is based on the events of the Vietnamese War of November 1955 to April 1975. Recounting his experiences of the war, the author tells the story, pretending that his daughter Kathleen is an adult.

This short story is part of O' Brien's "<em>The Things They Carried</em>". The story is told from a first person narrative voice. The author's daughter had asked him if he had ever killed anyone which he denies. But then he resolves to tell her the truth when she grows up. This story tells about the one event when the author had killed a soldier coming through the fog. The narrator pulled the pin of a grenade and threw it at the man, killing him. Years later, the narrator is still grappling with that event, assuring himself that if he hadn't done what he had done, the man would still have died anyhow.

Answer:

Even though Tina told her to skip it, Lexie had a nagging feeling in her gut that if she missed her brother's spelling bee, he would be extremely disappointed in her as well as her parents. After a half an hour of going through the list of pros and cons she had written, she called Tina and told her that although she truly did want to go to the show with them, she thought that her family should always come before friends. Tina completely understood and when Jess heard the news, she was disappointed but came to terms with Lexie's decision. As soon as Lexie arrived at the spelling bee competition, her brother's face lit up with pure happiness and joy when he noticed that Lexie was there with their parents. <em>This was the right decision.</em> Lexie thought while she cheered on her brother. At the end of the championship, her brother won and they all went out to celebrate.
