An important theme of modernism was disillusionment. Most modernist writers felt disillusioned in postwar America because of the destruction and devastating loss of human life. Ernest Hemingway represented this theme of disillusionment in his short story "In Another Country" through the character of the army major. The major’s character painted a bleak, disillusioned picture of war, through which there was no positive outcome, no matter what side won or lost. War represented loss to the major, and not even the technological advancements that helped heal serious wounds could convince the major otherwise.

3. Ruined means destruction.

4. The Vietnamese people were doing the ruining.

Explanation:

The article, "The Vietnam Wars," highlights the resistance put up by the Vietnamese people when other nations like the Chinese and French tried to subjugate them. In that section, the phrase, "Everything Tends to Ruin", was used by a French Military commander to summarize the frustration of the French people who tried to colonize the Vietnamese people.

The locals used their knowledge of the terrains to cause mayhem to their colonists. They resisted the schooling offered by the French people and rather embraced their culture. All ploys by the French colonists to subjugate them were met with resistance.

Should schools get rid of letter grades for assignments? What would be a better alternative to grades? Write an argument arguing
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Getting rid of the letter grades might help a lot of peoples confidence, but of course schools might not care about that. So there is another reason. If we did get rid of letter grades, it would open more opportunities to maybe better answered grades, ones that may be more accurate, instead of on a scale.

An alternative may be numbers. 1-10. And if it is on the 1-4 you need to start fixing your grades. It may help with more understanding. I see there are no percents to show you your exact grade in the class, but its just a suggestion. It might make you feel good to be in the 5-10 range.
