The narrator of the "A Shropshire Lad" is an unhappy and pessimistic young soldier.
Explanation:
Alfred Edward Housman's collection of poem "A Shropshire Lad" was narrated by a young but pessimistic soldier who had lost a lot of people. This is a collection of sixty- three poems that shows sacrifice of the Shropshire lads who had died while serving the Queen.
And added to their deaths, he is surrounded by the themes of death even in the poetry he reads. He talks of the sacrifice of these men, "<em>the land they perished for</em>" implying the patriotic zeal in the soldiers. It's as if the feeling and concept of death or dying is meant to be with him as long as he lives.

According to William Deresiewicz, it is necessary to unlearn misinformation about anything before you learn and mix up that information with wrong information.
Explanation:
- William Deresiewicz is an author and former professor of English.

- For this they should be in the right mindset; to worry less about the grades and not become afraid to make mistakes, unlearn the wrong things and learn again the right thing.
I'm not familiar with the book but the conflict is usually a fairly easy thing for me to find (I know some struggle with it) what you should do is summarize what you've read. Take that summery and think "alright, the character is facing an issue with_______" (his conscience, another character, society, or nature) and once you summarize it, the rest should be fairly simple. Hopefully this helps.
