Answer:
Explanation:
There are lots of language conventions, or techniques, used in this short story. I've provided some examples below. I hope you find the examples helpful.
I was walking to the nearest phone booth to call the landlady, when I heard that kettle's horrific scream behind me.
In this first example, the author has used personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object) to describe the kettle as "screaming." Using personification like this is an effective way of conveying the narrator's feelings, as those feelings seem to be manifested in her perceptions of the environment around her. The demonstrative pronoun "that" in this particular quote also attributes a special significance to this kettle, implying that it has already been the cause of some upset. The kettle is personified throughout the story, often as "that evil kettle" or "the demonic kettle." In fact the repetition (another common language convention in literature) of the personification arguably.
Answer:
a. They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went
c. some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches
d. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."
Explanation:
The short story "Editha" by William Dean Howell revolves around the character Editha who thinks that war is glorious and 'forces' her fiancé to enlist. But in the end, the man died, thus showing how useless war is.
After Editha persuades George to enlist for the war, he did not return alive, which led to the outburst of George's mother. She lamented that just because she (Editha) <em>"thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of"</em> doesn't justify the war. She also commented on how people <em>"think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went"</em>. She also referred to the foreigners who weren't there as <em>"poor wretches".</em>
Thus, <u>options a, c, and d shows the meaninglessness of war</u>.
