Read this excerpt about the Vietnam War from "Ambush" by Tim O'Brien: When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had
ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I'd
been a soldier. "You keep writing war stories," she said, "so
I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult
moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say,
"Of course not,' and then to take her onto my lap and hold
her for a while. Someday, I hope, she'll ask again. But here
I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her
exactly what happened, or what I remember happening,
and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was
absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories: how does the authors specific word choice and stylistic devices affect the excerpts tone? Be sure to use specific deatails from the text to support your answer
