Hurry hurry ! the road was crowded and there were screens of corn-stalk and straw matting on both sides and matting over the top so that it was like the entrance at a circus or a native village. keeping in mind hemingway’s iceberg principle, what feeling is he trying to convey by describing the scene as an “entrance to a circus or a native village”? a feeling of unease as the narrator is driving into a peculiar and alien location a feeling of sadness at the devastation that has been caused by violence of war a feeling of joy as the narrator realizes that he is alive despite all the carnage a feeling of defeat about a war that has taken so many lives and still continues on

He is inferring that the place is as crowded or popular as a circus.

Hope it helped! :)

a feeling of unease as the narrator is driving into a peculiar and alien location

Explanation:

The iceberg theory refers to a writing style suggested by Ernest Hemingway, whose previous work as a journalist made him write about instant circumstances which required little interpretation.

In the excerpt from "A Farewell to Arms," the narrator provides a description of the road he is driving through, which he finds unfamiliar and odd.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
