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. i 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 a 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.
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.

When lawrence saw the posters for the circus hanging on the bulletin board, as he swept up the trimmings at slim's barbershop, he knew he would be taking his little cousins. they loved animals, and he was looking forward to seeing the smiles on their faces as the circus performers amazed them with their stunts. but sweeping up hair clippings didn't pay a whole lot. lawrence spent 45 dollars just getting tickets. but it was worth it to see his cousins' faces. the day finally came and everyone was excited as they walked into that big circus tent. but lawrence soon realized that he and his cousins would be thirsty and hungry. as they sat in their seats, the drink vendor walked by selling beverages. desperately thirsty, lawrence asked him how much a lemonade would cost, and the drink vendor said, "eleven dollars each." lawrence replied, "oh, that's it? just eleven dollars? what a great deal for one cup of lemonade. that's totally worth it." the drink vendor walked away. which type of irony is used?

How can you paraphrase this, this is about golden age fallacies.these are all rational people who know that older is not necessarily better, but many are taken in by this fallacy and seem no longer able to reason with any degree of reliability
