This line comes from "The Things They Carried" by Tim O Brien when he served in Vietnam. The term hard vocabulary to contain terrible softness simply reflects what he has done to serve in Vietnam. In times of war, it is not good to be internally soft as it may serve as weakness to enemies. Therefore, hard vocabulary refers to the words that one would say to himself and others in order to project strength and hide softness or weakness inside.

Which element tends to have more impact on a novel’s theme?
Bond [772]

Answer:

These are the answers for the question:

  • the effect of plot events on a character’s growth or development
  • the sensory details used to describe the novel’s settings
  • the flat characters who don’t change by the end of the story
  • the background information provided in the story’s exposition

And this is the correct answer:

  • the effect of plot events on a character’s growth or development

Explanation:

Most stories, including novels, are character driven: this means that is the characters (often a few, specially the protagonists and the main antagonists) who carry the story forward, and part of that process is the character's growth or development, which is influenced by the events of the plot.

This character growth is often the most important element of the novel's theme.

The radio broadcast features interviews with hurricanes victims. Why do you think Cheryl Corley includes these interviews instea
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

She brought the hurricane victims so the listeners would hear their stories from their perspective.

Explanation:

Cheryl Corley was aware that describing the experiences the victims of the hurricane had from a third person perspective would not accurately convey the horrors the victims experienced so she had to include the interviews of the victims themselves so listeners would better the experience from the first person perspective.

When a story is being narrated in the third person narrative, that is another person describing events from a detached view the emotions are not properly captured and the 0erson simply describes it the way he sees it or thinks it happened. It is not an accurate way of describing events.

When narrating an experience in the first person, the person describes it exactly how it happened to them and how they felt when it was happening and how they felt after the event. It is a description based on the descriptor's experience.
