Answer: He tells the ending of the story first, and then explains how it happened so that the reader knows the emotions colonel Owens feels after their escape.

Explanation: Charles Chesnutt gives a general idea of how the characters end up at the beginning of the story so that the reader is aware of where is everything leading up to. He then tells the journey of the Colonel's son and the slave he saved; Grandison, since he looked trustworthy to the Colonel. After a series of events, the author chooses to finally reveal how unfortunate the Colonel feels after catching a glimpse of Grandison and his family escaping on a boat.

in "Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata," what is the author,s main challenge in telling the story of the Beethoven composition?
bekas [8.4K]
The answer is that the author has to bring to life a musical composition with only words. 
Beethoven was a famous composer who had multiple works of art glossing mainly over piano, and orchestra. Explaining a piece of music to others, with only words would be, in other words. . . hard.

Hope this helps!!!

Read this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk." I remember distinctly the thrill of climbing aboard a U.S. Army helic
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".

It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.

It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.

The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
