The story takes place many years ago.

Explanation:

In Frank O'Connor's short story "First Confession", the little boy Jackie's narration revolves round his childhood incident of his first ever confession. Brought up in a strict Christian family under his grandmother, he had gone to the church along with his elder sister Nora to confess their sins to the young priest.

Jackie mentions in his initial narrative how Nora "just sucked up to the old woman for the penny she got every Friday out of the old-age pension, a thing I could not do". This detail is likely suggestive of the fact that the story happened a long time back, considering how Nora and the narrator may have valued a penny. He also wanted a penny but he "was too honest", thus unable to hide his disregard for his grandmother's presence in their house.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
