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.

Which statement describes a way that Athenian democracy influenced the US government?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The U.S. government gives power to the citizens.

Explanation:

Democracy is considered to have originated from Athens, in Ancient Greece.

Democracy can be defined as a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

There are two (2) main types of democracy and these include;

I. Representative democracy: it's also known as indirect democracy and can be defined as a form of government which typically involves the process of having the citizens of a particular country vote to elect representatives (political leaders) to enact laws, create policies and make decisions on their behalf.

II. Direct democracy: it can be defined as a process which typically involves the candidates voting for their preferred choice. Thus, their choices are reflected directly on the subject matter.

Generally, the type of government in which legislators such as senators or house of representative members are found is known as a democracy and they are saddled with the responsibility of enacting or making laws.

Hence, the statement which describes a way that Athenian democracy influenced the US government is that, the U.S. government gives power to the citizens through representative democracy.

Why is the waste going to those countries instead of saying in the United States for recycling? In complete sentences
Rashid [163]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the name of "those countries" that receive the waste from the United States. Without the names, we are limited to fully answer.

However, trying to help you we can comment on general terms based on our knowledge of this topic.

Many times the waste going to underdeveloped o poor countries instead of saying in the United States for recycling is because it is cheaper for the United States to send that waste abroad to those countries. Another reason is that environmental laws in the US are stricter than in other countries, so US industries have to invest more money to comply with United States environment regulations. So these industries prefer to pay to other recycling companies abroad.  

In those other countries, legislation is not as strict as in the US or sometimes environmental legislation is non-existent. The problem is that in these countries people, civilians, suffer the consequences.
