Question

In what way are the presentations of the Civil War in "A Horseman and the Sky" and The Death of Reynolds different? The story is more concerned with violent death than the drawing is. The story relates the war to a family's private history, while the drawing does not. The story glorifies war, while the drawing condemns war. The story favors the Union side, while the drawing favors the Confederate side.

Answer 1

I confim what Meerkat18 said, the answer is "The story relates the war to a family's private history, while the drawing does not."

Answer 2

The correct answer is the following: option B. The presentations of the Civil War in "A Horseman and the Sky" and "The Death of Reynolds" are different because the story relates the war to a family's private history, while the drawing does not.

Both the story and the drawing are anti-war accounts so neither option c or d are correct. "A Horseman and the Sky" depicts the destructive impacts of the war on a single family. In the painting there are no personal or emotional references, but the painting of an army attack and the figure of General Reynolds who has fallen.
