Read the excerpt from Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. The major asked
me to have a drink with him and
two other officers. We drank rum and it was very friendly.
Outside it was getting dark. asked what time the attack was to be and they said
as soon as it was dark. I went
back to the drivers. They were sitting in the dugout talking and when I came in
they stopped. I gave them each
package of cigarettes, Macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have
the
ends twisted before you smoked them. Manera lit his lighter and
passed it around. The lighter was shaped like
a Fiat radiator. I told them what I had heard.
What does the excerpt reveal about the narrator?
• He prefers the company of the officers to that of the drivers.
O He only spends time with the officers so he can get cigarettes for the drivers.
• He looks down on everyone involved in the war, both officers and enlisted men.
• He interacts easily with both his superiors and the drivers

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.

Read the excerpt from cristina garcia’s dreaming in cuban. i don’t really want to talk about my father but i end up telling minnie how he used to take me horseback riding on our ranch, strapping me in his saddle with a leather seat belt he designed just for me. dad’s family owned casinos in cuba, and had one of the largest ranches on the island. there were beef cattle and dairy cows, horses, pigs, goats, and lambs. dad fed them molasses to fatten them, and gave the chickens corn and sorghum until they laid vermilion eggs, rich with vitamins. he took me on an overnight inspection once. we camped out under a sapodilla tree and listened to the pygmy owls with their old women’s voices. my father knew i understood more than i could say. he told me stories about cuba after columbus came. he said that the spaniards wiped out more indians with smallpox than with muskets. how does the structure of the excerpt add meaning to the passage? it includes historical information about the spaniards and indians to indicate the work is nonfiction. it describes the setting of the ranch owned by pilar’s cuban grandparents to explain family values. it uses several narrators to share their points of view about past and present life in cuba. it manipulates the chronological order of events to reveal the close relationship between pilar and her father.
