the major asked me to have a drink with him and two other officers. we drank rum and it was very friendly. outside it
was getting dark. i asked what time the attack was to be and they said as soon as it was dark. i went back to the
drivers. they were sitting in the dugout talking and when i came in they stopped. i gave them each a package of
cigarettes, macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have the ends twisted before
you smoked them. manera lit his lighter and passed it around. the lighter was shaped like a fiat radiator. i told them
what i had heard.

what does the excerpt reveal about the narrator?

Read the following poem carefully, and then answer the questions that follow. sonnet 73 by william shakespeare that time of year thou mayst in me behold when yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. in me thou seest the twilight of such day as after sunset fadeth in the west, which by and by black night doth take away, death's second self, that seals up all in rest. in me thou see'st the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth doth lie, as the death-bed whereon it must expire consumed with that which it was nourish'd by. this thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long. comprehension what seasonal images do you see in this poem? how do these images contribute to the poem's tone of loss and sadness?
