Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences? Ambush b

y Tim O'Brien (excerpt) When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I'd been a soldier. "You keep writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday, I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories: Symptoms by John Steinbeck (excerpt) If they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters. They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field. Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the b

First Answer: B) It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while

This sentence and the soldier's response came after he was asked if he has killed someone. It is clearly evident from the words alone that he had a hard time talking about it, even though he claimed he didn't kill anyone. He just talked about it because he thinks "it seemed right"

Second Answer: E) They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore

In this next sentence we can tell that the soldier has been comfortable narrating his experiences pre-war. After that, he just couldn't find himself going on for more. This would tell us specifically that they cannot find the courage to actually talk about the events that happened in the war itself.

THIS IS AN ESSAY, HELPPP! What attributes does Beowulf display in the story that reflect the values is the time?
NemiM [27]

There is no doubt that Beowulf was created to be a great Ango-Saxon warrior. This is because it exhibits characteristics that reflect many cultural values from the time it was created.

First of all it is necessary to remember that Beowulf was the archetype of the masculine vision of the time. At that time they had very well-defined gender roles and stated that Saxon men should be like strong Beowulf, warriors, courageous and protective. This would bring honor, glory and respect, which were characteristics stimulated at that time.

Furthermore, Beowulf shows to be violent in battles, this again reflects values of the time, since it was a time of many bloody and violent battles, where the winners were exalted in their communities.

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. To cast in my lot with Jekyll, was to die to those appetites
Otrada [13]

Answer: Dr. Jekyll is torn between the two sides of his identity

Explanation:

The conflict in this excerpt is that Dr. Jekyll is torn between the two sides of his identity.

In this case, if he casted his lot with Jekyll, then he was going to forget about the appetites that he had secretly indulged and on the other hand, if he casted it in with Hyde, he was going to die to a thousand interests and aspirations, and become despised and friendless.
