Question

how are the views of the narrators similar in \facing it\ and
ot a dove, but no longer a hawk\?

• both narrators discuss the negative impact of war on the innocent civilians.
• both narrators oppose american involvement in the vietnam war.
• both narrators are critical of the treatment of veterans after the vietnam war.
• both narrators are saddened by the harsh realities of the vietnam war.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "Facing It" (a poem about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial) and "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk" (a reflection on the war) – the first focuses on the memorial and veterans, not mainly civilian impact. Eliminate.
• Option 2: "Not a Dove..." shows a shift in stance on US involvement, but "Facing It" doesn't directly oppose involvement. Eliminate.
• Option 3: "Facing It" is about the memorial and the speaker's connection as a veteran, not criticism of veteran treatment. "Not a Dove..." also doesn't focus on this. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Both works reflect on the Vietnam War's harsh realities. The poem's imagery of the memorial and the essay's reflection on the war's impact show sadness over its realities. This fits.

Answer:

D. Both narrators are saddened by the harsh realities of the Vietnam War.
