What exemplifies these men as heroes, as described by Hemingway, is:
D. They act casually and go about regular business, such as smoking, while actually in grave danger.
Explanation:
"A Farewell to Arms" is a novel by author Ernest Hemingway narrated from a first-person perspective. The narrator is Frederic Henry, an American lieutenant who is serving in Italy during the first World War.
This particular excerpt shows how the men are able to keep a cool head even though they know an attack is about to happen. That is what distinguishes heroes from those they protect. While regular people would feel nervous or scared, would run away to escape danger, heroes are able to remain calm. To show that, Hemingway describes how easily they go about regular business, such as smoking, as if danger is not lurking.
Gratitude is an essential feeling for our tranquility and happiness. That's because when we are grateful for something it means that a good and prosperous element has been added to our lives, making us happier.
My biggest memory with this feeling happened a few years ago, when my family was going through a lot of financial problems and the situation at my house was not good. We were all very stressed, but happy to be able to count on each other. At that time I had been looking for a job across the city and I couldn't get a call for any of them. I was very sad and my mental health was very shaken because I did not see the solution to my problem.
However, after a long wait, I managed to find a job. This was such a good time in my life that I felt the fullest gratitude I had ever felt before. The job, even if it paid me little, would allow me to help my family and still help me to calm my mind.
That way I was able to understand exactly what gratitude was and realized that we don't need great things to happen in order to be grateful, but we can be grateful for small things that positively impact our lives very strongly.
