question 7 of 10
which characteristic of postmodern writing is most clearly shown in \facing it\ by yusef komunyakaa?

a. it combines elements of fairy tale and myth.

b. it is written in a matter-of-fact way.

c. it involves elements of violence.

d. it is told in a fragmented way.

Explanation:

Postmodern writing often features fragmentation, where the narrative is not linear or whole. "Facing It" by Yusef Komunyakaa uses fragmented structure to present the speaker's reflections on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, fitting postmodern characteristics. Option A (fairy tale/myth) is not typical postmodern here, B (matter - of - fact) contradicts postmodern's often non - traditional style, and C (violence elements) is not a defining postmodern trait for this poem.

Answer:

D. It is told in a fragmented way.
