Hemingway's World War I

Question 5 • SS4 - AREA3: PGCPS ENGLISH 11 OC (SUMMER 2027) - 791103

Why is an apprentice narrator appropriate for describing World War I?

Answer

The narrator’s growth can contrast naive views with the harsh realities of war.

The narrator is able to explain why war is always necessary despite its enormous costs.

In his blindness to reality, the narrator represents the majority of war’s proponents.

An exemplar narrator would give nothing but wise speeches, which would get boring.

Explanation

An apprentice narrator is still learning, so the story can show how the narrator’s ideas change as he encounters the realities of war. This contrast between naive expectations and the war’s harshness can help readers understand its effects. Choice A describes that purpose; the other choices either make an unsupported claim or focus on entertainment rather than perspective.
