Answer:

This gives the reader a sense of the burden that the men are bearing in carrying these things. Much attention is given to the weight and pressure the soldiers feel from what they're carrying and from external forces, such as nature.

Explanation:

"They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere...they carried gravity." But the greatest weight the men feel comes from nothing they can physically carry, but rather their emotions: "Grief, terror, love, longing these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight.

Reread lines 101-125. How does the author’s use of dialect affect the story?
Kipish [7]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered in a specific way. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is likely that the author uses the dialect to show someone who is an "outsider," that is, the author may have used the dialect to show a character who does not belong to the place where the story takes place and this affects the history by showing contrasts and diversity. This is because the dialect is the term that represents a different form of language and communication that people from different regions present.
