Answer: A) It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

This excerpt describes the experiences of a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The paradox in the passage, however, is the fact that the soldier describes this experience as an adventurous expedition. Besides the fact that the statement is odd, it shows the misconceptions that people have about war, and the difficulty in understanding the reality of it.

Create three potential questions from this statement: Foreshadowing is used often in Beowulf.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

-What is a literary device used in Beowulf?

- Do you think flashback or forshadow is used in Beowulf?

-What do you think is the technique used by the author to presage what happens in Beowulf?

Explanation:

The foreshadowing technique is very important to provide continuity and verisimilitude to the plot, so that the reader feels that things don't just happen unexpectedly: it prepares the reader to accept what is to come. It is also essential to create tension and expectation in the reader. An omen that anticipates that something terrible is about to happen will make it impossible for the reader to detach from your book.

And finally, we use foreshadowing for aesthetic reasons. Because we like to find parallels between the beginning and the end of a novel. Perhaps also because we like things to happen for a reason, because fiction reflects a need to find a deeper meaning to what happens to us.

"The earth does not belong to man, man belongs ot the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The earth is a vast ecosystem that was created by natural forces. Through mankind's touch this has drastically changed. A sort of butterfly effect occurs whenever man intervenes with nature. For example, building a dam stops water flow, dries up the river bed, and forces native animals to relocate or die. Everything that mankind has done to the earth hurts the natural course of how nature grows and flows. By doing this the earth has become poisoned, and therefore mankind is poisoning his home and himself.
