Answer:
Norman Bowker. The main character of “Speaking of Courage” is Norman Bowker. Unusually for the book, this story is set after the war, and depicts Norman driving around a lake near his parents' home on a lonely 4th of July evening in the 1970's, longing for someone to talk to about the war.
Explanation:
At war, we know that he's gentle, but carries a thumb that Mitchell Sanders cut off a VC soldier and gave to him. The only other personal thing he carries is a diary. He keeps telling Kiowa to shut up when Kiowa wants to talk about Ted Lavender's death, but eventually he's okay with listening.
Norman Bowker sadly passed away in 1978. Bowker was found hanging from a jump rope by a couple of his friends in the late evening. ... Sadly, Norman Bowker was deeply troubled after the war. He blamed himself for his friend's death and felt like he was drowning ever since his friend, Kiowa, died.
Answer:
The story element that plays a key role in this conflict is:
B. setting
Explanation:
Setting can be defined as the "where and when" of a story: the place, the time in history, the social context and so on in which the story develops. In this excerpt from "White Fang", by author Jack London, the setting is creating the conflict. It shows that White Fang is torn between the safety of the camp and the independence of the wild. White Fang is half-wolf and half-dog, and even though he has been domesticated, there is still a part of him that calls him back to the forest, to the wilderness.

This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The technique the author uses to build suspense is:
C. intentionally omitting setting details
Explanation:
The setting of a story is the place where and the time when the story happens. When an author wishes to make the setting clear, he will give out details and descriptions to help readers visualize it.
<u>However, that is not what happens in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The author intentionally leaves out details to build suspense. He does not offer a description of the museum and, most importantly, of the objects inside the museum. What are the "hulking objects" he mentions? Mummies? Old statues? What do they look like? We do not know. All we know is that they cast long shadows and stretch across the floor. By describing them so poorly, the author creates suspense, leaving readers wondering about these objects and their role in the story.</u>
