Answer and Explanation:
As the name suggests, a character sketch is a type of summary of a character. Character sketches are often used by authors as part of the pre-writing process. However, in this case, we are analyzing a character that belongs to an existing story. A sketch usually includes physical appearance, personality, actions, and feelings, and so on.
Character sketch for the short story "Condensed Milk" - each affirmation is followed by evidence.
The narrator is a man, an adult. He is most likely an intellectual who was, somehow, involved with politics: "There was no reason for us politicals to be there..."
The narrator is mentally and psychologically exhausted, as well as physically sick: "Inside there was only an empty scorched sensation, and we were indifferent to everything, making plans no further than the next day." "I rolled up my pants and showed the breaks in the skin from scurvy."
<u>Even though his main concern is to stay alive, he is still capable of strong emotions and petty revenges. He is smart and determined, enough to escape a trap that would lead to his death</u>: "It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. But what else could I do? Warn the others? I didn’t know them. But they needed a warning."
Answer:
A). It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.
Explanation:
Paradox is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author presents a statement that is self-contradictory or incongruous juxtaposition of ideas which captures the readers' attention and reveal a latent truth.
As per the question, option A i.e. 'it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition' most appropriately elaborates the use of paradox in the given excerpt. The author <u>incongruously juxtaposes the conventional idea of war by presenting it as an 'adventurous expedition' which eventually turn into an 'exhaustion and war of attrition' </u>to highlight the serious concern that 'the causes for the war dampens over time and gradually all that is significant is staying alive'('no cause other than our own survival'). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
