Which excerpt from Dispatches contains sensory language to describe the geography of Vietnam? There would be the muted rush of illumination rounds, fired from 60-mm. mortars inside the wire, dropping
magnesium-brilliant above the NVA trenches for a few seconds, outlining the gaunt, flat spread of the mahogany
trees, giving the landscape a ghastly clarity and dying out.
It was awesome, worse than anything the Lord had ever put down on Egypt, and at night, you'd hear the Marines
talking, watching it, yelling, "Get some!" until they grew quiet and someone would say, "Spooky understands." The
nights were very beautiful.
Once in a while, I guess I saw it happen three or four times in all-there would be a secondary explosion, a direct
hit on a supply of NVA ammunition. And at night it was beautiful. Even the incoming was beautiful at night,
beautiful and deeply dreadful.
Nights were when the air and artillery strikes were heaviest because that was when we knew that the NVA was
above ground and moving. At night you could lie out on some sandbags and watch the C-47's mounted with
Vulcans doing their work.

1. at the conclusion of chapter 13, the monster realizes that he has none of the qualities or possessions that human beings value, and so he worries the he will be forever miserable. he says, “oh, that i had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! ” this statement recalls one made by victor frankenstein in chapter 10: “if our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might nearly be free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.” questions: what do these two statements suggest about the impact of knowledge? how do the statements affect the way readers view the monster and victor?
