In Paragraph 1 Of The Section“Doc-Lap at Last,” the author says, “The Americans cringed at the thought of a Communist Vietnam.”
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

I think that cringe means that a response to embarrasement. But right now in this text I think this word means that they didn't want that to happen. Or they thought that was not good. Hopefully it's right. I mean that's just my opinion. :D

what is the difference between point of view and voice? a. point of view means the events of a story as told by the characters t
Olegator [25]

The point of view of a person refers to an opinion created. In literature when we use the term point of view, we are dealing with the idea of perspective from which the story is being told, whereas the voice is the combination of language, diction, or the choice of words, and tone used to tell a story. The point of view can be in favor of certain characters or situations and the voice carries or gives voice to the thoughts of the characters in a literary piece.
