Describe the average American G.I. What was his/her experience in vietnam?

English

stepladder [879]3 years ago
7 0

Some GI volunteered to go to Vietnam. But many of the soldiers who went were drafted into the service, ineligible for a student deferment because they had never been to college.

They had to deal with several frustrations particular to the war in Vietnam. Many were brought in piecemeal as replacements within existing units, which made them feel disconnected from the larger group. And with no geographical lines separating friend from foe, the GI in the field couldn't trust anyone. Villagers might be innocent civilians or Viet Cong sympathizers.

The majority of American soldiers never witnessed large-scale battles or suffered through the terror of a jungle ambush during their one-year tours. But when they did, dozens of men could die within minutes. If they are lucky enough to survive the year until his Date Eligible for Return from Overseas, or DEROS, they get to go back home in one piece.


Hope it helps

cheers

Khianna just learned that microscopic, tiny, small, and miniscule are all synonyms.

Hello.

The correct answer is "A.) Thesaurus". This is because Thesauruses contain most or all synonyms and antonyms, while dictionaries contain primarily just definitions and pronunciation. Encyclopedias are Internet-based sources that contain videos, images, and other information, but do not contain synonyms.
A glossary is essentially a very brief dictionary; it contains terms and definitions, reference pages, and all the sorts. But they do not contain synonyms.

I hope this helps!

According to "The Philosophy of Composition, "why did Poe choose 'nevermore" as the refrain in "The Raven"?
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is A.

In his essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," Poe explains that he wanted to have a strong word for the Raven to say. It had to be "sonorous and susceptible of protracted emphasis".

These considerations led him to the conclusion that the word should contain the vowel "o" connected with the consonant "r."

After deciding these characteristics, the first word that came to his mind was "Nevermore."
