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.

Here are a few points you could include in your story if you chose Carter’s father:

Character: Carter’s father

Setting: his home in Virginia (and then later the hilltop in the battlefield)

Point of view: Here’s an example of the narrative from the first-person point of view:

A dagger sliced through my heart when my son told me he would betray our family legacy and join the Union army, but I steeled myself, and offered not the slightest hint of rage or disappointment.

Which sentence in the excerpt supports the claim that the American colonies could thrive independently from Britain?
viva [34]

C) But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had anything to do with her. thus option C is correct.

<h3>Why British rule of American colonies?</h3>

Although each colony had its own government, the British king maintained power over them. Many colonists were irate by the 1770s because they lacked self-government. This implied that they were unable to rule themselves and establish their own rules. The king demanded that they pay enormous taxes.

According to Paine's claim in Option C, America would have actually been better off if it had not been under British rule. According to him, America's progress and ability to prosper even more were really hampered by its rule by the British. Both options A and B make the case that America needs Britain to succeed. Option A claims that for America to be happy, a relationship with Britain is crucial. America is compared to a child in Option B. According to this, a child should never consume meat if they can get by on milk alone. America should therefore just require Britain. Although Paine evidently finds this absurd, the premise does not support the claim.
