Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. “i believe we should get the war over,” i said. “it would not finish it if one side stopped fighting. it would only be worse if we stopped fighting.” “it could not be worse,” passini said respectfully. “there is nothing worse than war.” “defeat is worse.” “i do not believe it,” passini said still respectfully. “what is defeat? you go home.” “they come after you. they take your home. they take your sisters.” “i don’t believe it,” passini said. “they can’t do that to everybody. let everybody defend his home. let them keep their sisters in the house.” “they hang you. they come and make you be a soldier again. not in the auto-ambulance, in the infantry.” what does hemingway’s indirect characterization of the narrator reveal?

The narrator acknowledges that war is cruel, unjust, and inescapable.

Explanation:

This is what Hemingway's indirect characterization of the narrator reveals. In this passage, the narrator and another character (Passini) are talking about what would happen if the war were to end. Passini claims that he wants the war to be over, and that he wants to go home. The narrator, however, is skeptical of this view. He believes that even if the war were over, what would be left would be much worse, and the fight would not be over. The narrator believes that war is cruel, unjust and inescapable, and has made up his mind to continue fighting until the end.

your answer is b. "with strong wording encouraging readers to take action."

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
