Answer and Explanation:

The four events that best capture the plot of the story can be:

1. A stranger comes to a family home.

2. The stranger is invited in by the mother.

3. He begins to behave oddly.

4. The father and the mother are shaken by the visit.

The summary is as follows, based on the four events above:

One evening, a stranger rings the bell of a family house. He claims that he used to live in that very house when he was a child. The father is the one who answers the door, and he gives the man permission to look around the yard. The mother, however, out of sympathy, decides to invite the stranger in so that he can take a look inside the house.

As soon as he comes in, the man begins to behave more and more oddly while reminiscing. His words and actions begin to make the parents uncomfortable. Some of his sentences are cut in half, and many imply he was victim of some sort of domestic abuse. At some point, it is even possible to infer that this man is in fact dead. He is a ghost who has come to revisit the place where he suffered so much.

Finally, the father decides it is time for the stranger to go. He and his wife are shaken by the visit, to the point of being angry at each other. The mother tries to blame the father, saying she was not the one who answered the door.

Consider a time when the United States was involved in a conflict abroad during your lifetime. Even though it was not fought in
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Cuban Missile Crisis- Sub incident

How it impacted my day to day life: I probably wouldn't be born.

October 27, 1962: A aircraft was shot down by the Soviets while over Cuba, killing its pilot, causing tensions to escalate to their highest point.

Later, a Soviet submarine was detected trying to break the blockade that the US Navy had established around Cuba. In response the destroyer USS Beale dropped fake warning torpedoes an attempt to make the submarine surface.

But while the action was designed to encourage the Soviet submarines to surface, the crew of B-59 had been incommunicado and so were unaware of the intention. They thought they were witnessing the beginning of a third world war. The captain of the sub, Valentin Savitsky, thought the submarine was under attack and ordered to prepare the submarine's nuclear torpedo to be launched at the aircraft carrier USS Randolf.  

All three senior officers aboard the B-59 had to agree to the launch before it happened. Fortunately, the B-59's second in command, Vasili Arkhipov, disagreed with his other two counterparts, and convinced the captain to surface and await orders from Moscow.  

Had it been launched, the fate of the world would have been very different: the attack would probably have started a nuclear war which would have caused global devastation, with unimaginable numbers of civilian deaths.
