Which two sentences in this excerpt from John Steinbeck's "Symptoms" address the theme of soldiers being reluctant to talk about their experiences in war? "If they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters." "They would discuss 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. "Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple." They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

answer: to inform

explanation: the red death is an exciting passage, but also in some ways scary, so it is not to amuse. the red death is far in the past, so it is not to warn.

i it is b. but if its not sorry

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
