Short response question: Using the RACE Method, write and develop ideas by citing evidence from the text. In lines 23–24 of "The Vietnam Wall," the speaker mentions that the names on the wall are presented in order of death, not in alphabetical order. Why do you think the speaker finds it important to mention the way the names are arranged? What are the effects of that arrangement? Use your own reasoning as well as details from the poem to help you answer.

"The names are not alphabetized.

They are in the order of dying.

An alphabet of—somewhere—screaming."

what are you asking? this is gibberish.

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.

yes he will one day hopefully lol
