Read this passage from “two friends.” what contrast is being drawn by the author?
morissot, who was anxiously watching his float bobbing up and down, was suddenly seized with the angry impatience of a peaceful man toward the madmen who were firing thus, and remarked indignantly:
"what fools they are to kill one another like that! "
"they're worse than animals," replied monsieur sauvage.
and morissot, who had just caught a bleak, declared:
"and to think that it will be just the same so long as there are governments! "
"the republic would not have declared war," interposed monsieur sauvage.
morissot interrupted him:
"under a king we have foreign wars; under a republic we have civil war."
and the two began placidly discussing political problems with the sound common sense of peaceful, matter-of-fact citizens--agreeing on one point: that they would never be free. and mont-valerien thundered ceaselessly, demolishing the houses of the french with its cannon balls, grinding lives of men to powder, destroying many a dream, many a cherished hope, many a prospective happiness; ruthlessly causing endless woe and suffering in the hearts of wives, of daughters, of mothers, in other lands.
"such is life! " declared monsieur sauvage.
"say, rather, such is death! " replied morissot, laughing.
the political problems of france are in contrast with the political problems of prussia.
the peaceful pastime of friends fishing is in contrast with the violence of war.
the ideas of m. sauvage is in contrast with the beliefs of m. morrisson.
the french countryside is in contrast with the prussian fatherland.
