1. Why does the narrator lie to his daughter, and how does he justify it? Do you think she will ask him the same question when she's older? Why/Why not?
2. The narrator "keeps(s) writing war stories." What does he expect the writing to do? Do you think it is working?
3. Why doesn't the narrator let the soldier pass? How do you think you would have reacted in a similar situation?
4. Why do you think the narrator focuses on the gory details of the soldier's death?​

1. The narrator's nine-year-old daughter, knowing that her father writes war stories, asks him if he has ever killed anyone. The narrator says no but resolves to tell her the truth when she is grown (so yes she might ask the same question when she is older.)
2. because he wants his writing to be heard.
3. because it was his thing to kill anyone he saw, so his body reacted way before he has time to think whether or not he should kill or not. I probably would’ve done the same.
4. he focuses on the deaths because those thoughts aren’t easy to go away.

The answer would be c. logical because it is explaining how the device is tempting which makes it logical
