Remember what you have learned about the theme of struggling to find one's own identity and the key elements of a story. Based o

n that information, write a 250-word fictional narrative about the Civil War from the perspective of the character you have chosen. Your narrative should have a clear setting, a point of view, at least one character, and a plot. Your narrative should also help explain the character's identity. Remember to stay true to what you have already learned about the character you chose from “A Horseman in the Sky.”

Answer:

You have to do the work! Good luck. I can help a little but you have to write it in your own words.

Explanation:

The story begins with a Union soldier named Carter Druse struggling to stay awake at his duty post. He knows that sleeping is a treasonous act; if the Confederacy becomes aware of the Union plan to ambush their camp, Druse's fellow soldiers will be in danger. As he lies at his post, Druse remembers the day that he told his father of his intentions to join the Union army and his father's disappointment that Carter did not choose the Confederacy. As his moDruse becomes alert when he sees a Confederate soldier in the distance. He is immediately taken aback by the artistic beauty of the image of the soldier in the distance. Druse draws his gun to shoot, but then 'the horseman turned his head and looked in the direction of his concealed foeman--seemed to look into his very face, into his eyes, into his brave, compassionate heart.' Druse falls ill and is unable to follow through with killing this man. Then, remembering his duty, and realizing that the Confederate soldier must have seen some of his peers as they watered their horses, Druse fires his weapon.

A Federal officer happens by in time to see the Confederate soldier and his horse falling off the cliff, which is so beautiful in the way that the horse appears to be flying, that he begins to wonder if he is 'the chosen scribe of some new Apocalypse.' Rattled, the officer returns to his commander and decides not to mention what he has seen.

Druse's commanding officer hears the shot and asks for a report about what has happened. Druse explains that he shot at a horse in the distance. When asked if there was anyone on the horse, Druse admits that the Confederate soldier he shot was ironically his father.ther was on her death bed, Carter and his father decide not to tell her, but part respectfully.

With a writhing motion, [Edna] settled herself more securely in the hammock. She perceived that her will had blazed up, stubborn
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer here is A)

The author uses strong adjectives and figurative language.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words used to characterise, explain or modify nouns or pronouns.

In the sentence above, stubborn, blazed-up and resistant function both as adjectives and as figurative expressions.

Adjectives because the author uses them to qualify Edna's will.

Figurative because, they suggest another form of meaning which in this context, of course, are used to project the strength and resilience of Edna's will.

Another example of the use of a figurative language is:

You are my diamond.

Cheers!
