I'M TIMED!!! NEED HELP
Read the excerpt from Hemingwayâs A Farewell to Arms.
âIt could not be worse,â Passini said respectfully. âThere is nothing worse than war.â
âDefeat is worse.â
âI do not believe it,â Passini said still respectfully. âWhat is defeat? You go home.â
âThey come after you. They take your home. They take your sisters.â
âI donât believe it,â Passini said. âThey canât do that to everybody. Let everybody defend his home. Let them keep their sisters in the house.â
This excerpt exemplifies how Hemingway uses short sentences that
O are still loaded with meaning.
O contain very little more meaning.
O are purposefully difficult to understand.
O hold limited symbolic value.
