Which two sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers' reluctance to talk about their war experiences? Ambush
by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)
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

their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was
thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these
men had no such consideration in any other field.

worse the battle was, the less they remember.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.
