Answer:

The two lines that demonstrate the author’s opposition to conventional ideas of patriotism are:-

1. You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em".

2. I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!

Explanation:

'Editha' by 'William Dean Howells ' is a story based on war, media and patriotism. It is set during the Spanish - American war times and brings out different perspectives and opinions about the characters in the story.

Editha encouraged her fiance George Gearson to get himself enlisted in the Spanish-American War.

The two mentioned lines are a demonstration of author's strong opposition to the traditional ways of showing patriotism. One shows empathy towards the poor and towards the foreigners who were likely to be killed and they couldn't do anything about it.

    Alice is a three-year-old little girl who lives in a big city. She is very cute, her hair is long and brown and she is a little chubby. She certainly smiles beautifully, and her laughter is the most captivating thing. Her eyes seem to be always observing everything and everybody around her.

    Alice can be very moody sometimes. She can be crying for some silly reason in a moment and laughing the next. When she wants to watch her favorite cartoons, nothing can stop her. At night, when she feels hungry, she will not hesitate in screaming for food. If she does not get it right away, she screams again.

   She is very protective of children who are younger than her. Whenever she senses they are in danger, she will turn to an adult for help.

   She is indeed very kind and emotional. If she is watching one of her cartoons and a character is going through a hard time, she suddenly gets desperate and starts crying.

   Alice loves to take strolls around the street where she lives. In fact, she loves strolling anywhere she is taken, because she is a very social little girl who loves being around people, especially happy, excited ones who are her age.

   She likes to dress elegantly, like a real lady! She takes a long time to choose what to wear. Very narcissistic for her age, but that is just part of her cuteness!

   She is a musical person. Whenever she hears music, she easily gets used to the melodic patterns of it and all of a sudden starts singing like there is no tomorrow! She is particularly into nursery rhymes.

   Nowadays Alice has been obsessed with spiders of all kinds. She is both afraid and delighted whenever she sees one. In fact, she has a lot of plastic toy spiders, which she drags around the house all the time. Since she has an excellent sense of humor, she loves trying to scare her parents with those toys of hers.

   Alice is a very curious girl. If she notices anything happening around her, she stares obsessively at the people and the place where it is going on and keeps asking questions in her own peculiar way. She is very enthusiastic about discovering new things, and her eyes are those of an ace investigator who seeks information about a suspenseful event.  Alice is constantly eager to see everything, to interact with everyone. She is an adorable little girl who really wants to get to know the world!
