Answer:
A. That a story's setting is believable and real
Explanation:
Answer:
Stories with supernatural elements were viewed differently in Shakespeare's time versus how they are viewed today because audiences during Shakespeare's time considered witches and curses to be real and therefore much scarier than today's audiences would. At that time people believed in witchcraft.
Explanation:
During the Elizabethan era, the age to which Shakespeare belong, there was a fear of the unknown and mysterious amongst the folks. Due to the lack of education they believed in the real existence of witches and other supernatural elements that were displayed through dramas, stories or books. Today, with the advancement of science and technology people are more practical and these elements of fear hold no relevance in their lives.
In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."
Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then.
"They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."
This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail. The author notices that they don't remember and it could potentially be that they wanted not to remember. Unconsciously they blocked the horrible things they had done and seen.
I would say "the town is 15 miles further"
Wicked and vicious. hope that helps....
