Answer:

Hamartia is a tragic flaw that causes the downfall of a hero.

Hubris is excessive pride and disrespect for the natural order of things.

Peripeteia is the reversal of fate that the hero experiences.

Anagnorisis is a moment in time when hero makes an important discovery in the story.

Nemesis is a punishment that the protagonist cannot avoid, usually occurring as a result of his hubris.

Catharsis are feelings of pity and fear felt by the audience, for the inevitable downfall of the protagonist.

Explanation:

Hamartia is basically a trait the hero possess (ex. arrogance) that leads to their downfall.

Hubris means their pride gets in the way and they dirupt the order of things.

Peripeteia is when they started with one luck and it flipped (ex. good luck to bad luck, or bad luck to good luck)

Anagnorisis is when the hero finds out something big (Ex. the ememy is his long lost father)

Nemesis normally happens becase the order was dirupted and the hero has to pay the price (ex. hero cuts down a fruit tree. The fruit turns out to be the only thing that could cure the hero after being poisoned. But the tree was cut so the hero will die without the annodote)

Catharsis is basically when the audience comes to the conclusion the hero is doomed (ex. The reader relalizes the hero cut down the only tree that could save them.

Nesterboy [21]
I would say that "constant cry" and "Chesterton's cat" are the obvious ones. However "echoed in our ears" is a pretty subtle one that you can definitely make a solid argument for.

Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical
seropon [69]
In O'Brien's excerpt those sentences are: <span>In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. This sentence evokes a bodily reaction and calls it "the reality". It is not just imagined; it really happens. </span><span>I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. It's as if his body has its own way of processing the distressing information. He feels a very specific kind of nausea, triggered by his mental processes.

In Steinbeck's excerpt it's these sentences: </span><span>In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. They describe a very physical reaction, which is a product of emotional distress. It's as if the body is trying to defend the whole system from detrimental factors.</span>
