How does francis in heros by Robert comier convey the horror of war​

English

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation below:

Explanation:

- The writer of Heroes, Robert Cormier, said that he was concerned about the problems which young people had to deal with in modern society. After the bombing of Pearl Harbour there was a great feeling of patriotism across America, and young men and women rushed to join the services to do their bit for their country.

- Through Francis, the reader is able to see how a young man, approaching adulthood, had to cope with the pressures of going to fight in a faraway war, where he witnessed horrific things, then faced even more problems when he returned. Many men came back with physical injuries, like Francis, and they were helped, but there was very little support for people with psychological problems, so they were left to deal with these problems by themselves.

- Many young men had interrupted their education to go and fight, so the US government introduced the GI Bill which funded ex-servicemen to go back to college. It seems that there was more emphasis on the economy than on individuals’ mental welfare.

- Robert Cormier uses the film reels which Francis and his friends watch at the cinema, as well as Francis’ flashbacks, to allow the reader to experience the horrors of the war second-hand. This is exactly how the real inhabitants of small towns across the United States would have experienced the war.

I'm laughing at this first question because it doesn't seem necessary to know for graduation in the future lol.... Okay so the answer is D. because the whole paragraph was saying what he was packing and that he was excited for his trip so it doesn't make sense to go off topic about how far away his house is from the camp or that he spent last summer somewhere else and that there will be horses there. For an ending, you want to make sure its an ending point and not an unnecessary sentence.

Read the excerpt from ""the lottery."" what information from the excerpt is ironic?
iragen [17]

Answer:

The children arrived first for the lottery.

Explanation:

An irony is a literary device and figure of speech in which words give a direct opposite meaning from the intended meaning.

From the excerpt, we see that the main theme was referring to "school". Therefore, children couldn't be first for the lottery, which is ironic.
