Question

which event is described in both \ambush\ and \facing it\?
○ a visit to a memorial
○ a discussion with a child
○ an interaction with the enemy
○ the death of a soldier

Explanation:

"Ambush" by Tim O'Brien centers on the narrator's memory of killing an enemy soldier during the Vietnam War, while "Facing It" by Yusef Komunyakaa, set at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, includes the speaker confronting the memory of a soldier's death (and his own trauma of the war). A visit to a memorial only occurs in "Facing It"; a discussion with a child and enemy interaction only appear in "Ambush". The death of a soldier is a core event present in both works.

Answer:

the death of a soldier
