I think its number 1.

In these two excerpts the common idea resides in the fact that these men, who have experienced war and its aftereffects, are unable to verbalize the fact that they had to kill another human being. This, more than anything else about war, traumatizes the characters in both excerpts. This can be seen when in <em>Ambush</em>, the speaker reacts to his daughter´s comment on killing someone and he, overcome by the shame of having to face again the memories of something that happened during the war, lies to his child and reacts to her comment by embracing her instead of talking anymore. In the second excerpt of <em>Symptoms, </em>the soldiers are described as men who can talk willingly about all aspects of war except when they had to face the traumatizing event of killing people. Other than that, they would verbalize their thoughts openly; but not the thoughts of having killed, or witnessed the killing, of other people. This is why the correct answer is 1.

Read the article “Are We Still Living in 1984”. Do you believe we are living in a society not unlike the one Winston lives in? U
Lilit [14]

The world we live in today is not very different to 1984 in the way that our government watches what we do through our devices and through cameras we may not see. The government today also uses the websites we use every day to influence us. for instance, the adds on our social media sites are put there because of what the microphone on our computer or phone heard. the news today is also some what similar in the way that political candidates or the producers of the news outlet, can force or influence us to agree with them over what would normally seem logical or morally right.

A paragraph about What motivates him to help Romeo and Juliet to defy their parents?
kaheart [24]
The Friar also hopes to force the parents to realize how much they love their daughter as they believe her dead. Friar Laurence hopes that when Juliet is "returned to life" Lord and Lady Capulet will be so overjoyed that she is alive that they will be reasonable about her marriage and seek to ameliorate their relationship with the Montagues. He promises Juliet that he will send for Romeo that she may return to Mantua with him when she awakens.
Now, to return to the first interference of Friar Laurence. It is stated by him that the Friar does, indeed, not want the couple to commit mortal sins by having sexual relations outside of marriage However, it also stands to reason and is consistent with his thinking in the second situation that the Friar also hopes that if the chldren of the feuding families marry, then the parents may feel compelled to live amicably for the sake of their children's happiness as well as for that of possible grandchildren. He tells Romeo, One of the contrasts between Friar Lawrence and most of the rest of the city is that he is supposed to be loyal to his parishioners, regardless of which family they are in, etc. He is also protected to a certain extent from the politics of the city because he is of the church, something held sacred by both families.
Because of this, I believe he acts mainly out of a genuine desire to see what is best happen for Romeo and Juliet and without a great deal of concern to the consequences of that union. He is of course also interested in their salvation so he is certainly willing to marry them before they commit a serious sin like fornication, which he must have known they were wont to do! Hope I helped :))))
