Answer:
Of course :)
Explanation:
Some travelers from Rome are obliged to spend most of the night aboard a second-class railway carriage, parked at the station in Fabriano, waiting for the departure of the local train that will take them the remainder of their trip to the small village of Sulmona. At dawn, they are joined by two additional passengers: a large woman, “almost like a shapeless bundle,” and her tiny, thin husband. The woman is in deep mourning and is so distressed and maladroit that she has to be helped into the carriage by the other passengers.
Her husband, following her, thanks the people for their assistance and then tries to look after his wife’s comfort, but she responds to his ministrations by pulling up the collar of her coat to her eyes, hiding her face. The husband manages a sad smile and comments that it is a nasty world. He explains this remark by saying that his wife is to be pitied because the war has separated her from their twenty-year-old son, “a boy of twenty to whom both had devoted their entire life.” The son, he says, is due to go to the front. The man remarks that this imminent departure has come as a shock because, when they gave permission for their son’s enlistment, they were assured that he would not go for six months. However, they have just been informed that he will depart in three days.
The man’s story does not prompt too much sympathy from the others because the war has similarly touched their lives. One of them tells the man that he and his wife should be grateful that their son is leaving only now. He says that his own son “was sent there the first day of the war. He has already come back twice wounded and been sent back again to the front.” Someone else, joining the conversation, adds that he has two sons and three nephews already at the front. The thin husband retorts that his child is an only son, meaning that, should he die at the front, a father’s grief would be all the more profound. The other man refuses to see that this makes any difference. “You may spoil your son with excessive attentions, but you cannot love...

Part I
The text structure is how the text is organized. Text structures include most of the time compare and contrast, sequence, description, problem and solution, and cause and effect. The text structure is one of the most important parts of a text. Some examples of a text structures are the sequence structure, which sorts out the text according to the order of the steps in a process or the chronological order of the events of the stories. And the problem and solution text structure, which presents a problem and then tries finding a solution and its consequences.
Part II
In the consistent text structure in the story "To Build a fire" the author consistently develops the northern theme in his work. cause-and-effect relationships are important for the author, he is interested in the psychology of the main character, the motives of his actions and the internal sources of forces for resistance. In "Gumption" the descriptive structure makes it easier for the author to emphasize actions and reveal how can each person of foolish decisions contribute to its downfall. they both tell a story of someone that is suffering. in "To Build a fire" he has to survive out in the wilderness, and in "gumption" they have to deal with racism.
Part III
The story "Gumption" has a descriptive structure, because it describes an idea. In the story, the author makes the reader understand Clara's individual interpretation of "Gumption" by depicting it to the reader. But in "To build a fire" the author uses a sequential structure (the ideas are presented as they happen in time) and it shows the reader how each one of the man's unintelligent decisions plays a part in his undoing.
