Answer:
The sentences that reveal Alcott's feelings about the war are:
- "A busy time getting them ready, and a sad day seeing them off."
- "At the station the scene was very dramatic [...]"
Alcott wants to become a nurse because she cannot fight in the war and therefore wants to help those who can. This can be seen in the line:
- "I long to be a man, but I can't fight, I will content myself with, working for these who can."
Explanation:
The text shows Alcott's thoughts on the war. Although she shows that she always wanted to witness a war, probably because of the feeling of nationalism and belonging, she shows that there is a feeling of sadness in sending men to war, as this is a destination that is not known the result. The city is sad because it does not know if these men will be able to return alive and healthy. She also recognizes that all of this causes a strong drama in all families.
Acott would very much like to participate in the war and so he decides to be a nurse, since only men can participate in battles.
