My grandfather, who lost his short-term memory sometime during the first Eisenhower Administration, calls me into his study beca

use he wants to tell me the story he’s never told anybody before again. . . . My grandfather slams the door and motions me to the chair in front of his desk. I’ll be thirteen in two weeks. “There’s something I want to tell you, son,” he says. “Something I’ve never told anybody. You think you’re ready? You think you’ve got the gumption?” “I think so.” “Think so?” “I know so, sir. I know I’ve got the gumption.” . . . “It was late,” he says. “Someone knocked on my stateroom door. I leaped up. In those days I slept in uniform—shoes, too.” My grandfather smiles. His face is so perfectly round that his smile looks like a gash in a basketball. I smile back. “Don’t smile,” he says. “Just because I’m smiling, don’t assume I couldn’t kill you right now. Know that about a man.” Source: Orner, Peter. “The Raft.” The Atlantic Online. The Atlantic Monthly Company, Apr. 2000. Web. 10 May 2011. Which point of view does the text use? third-person limited third-person omniscient second-person first-person

Why is the falling rhythm of the pattern that starts with a stressed syllable, followed by two unstressed syllables, appropriate
Mama L [17]

Answer:

because of the defeat the army suffered

The British light cavalry, led by Lord Cardigan consisted of the "Light Brigade." However, due to miscommunication, the brigade was sent to a different artillery battery, which they were not well-prepared or well-suited to fight against. This resulted to the increased number of British casualties.

Thus, the poem used a falling rhythm in its pattern in order to show how the army suffered because of being defeated. Their defeat forced them to retreat at once.

So, this explains the answer.
