Select the correct answer.
which text from the short story “ambush” by tim o’brien exemplifies the theme of soldiers’ reticence, or inability, to discuss their experiences at war?
later, i would remember, kiowa tried to tell me that the man would've died anyway. he told me it was a good kill that i was a soldier and this was a war, that i should shape up and stop staring and ask myself what the dead man would've done if things were reversed.
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.
i had come to a crouch. it was entirely automatic. i did not hate the young man; i did not see him as the enemy; i did not ponder issues of morality or politics or military duty.
but here i want to pretend that 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 absolutely right.

The great depression, which lasted throughout the 1930s in the united states, affected many people, and it had a devastating impact on an entire subset of the u.s. population. modernist writer john steinbeck wrote about the toll the depression took on these families, many of whom were forced to leave their farms and find other sources of income.
