Hi guys can u me in this i really need idk what to do in this ok and these r th questions. i also gave the story.

1. in the first three paragraphs, how does the author describe joby’s thoughts and feelings?
2. what details establish the setting?
3. in the third paragraph on page 167, the word “solemn” is used three times. what does it mean and why do you think the author chose to repeat this word? what effect does it create?
4. on page 168, the author says, “. . raw youth their protection and benediction.” why did the author choose to use the word benediction?
5. on page 168, how does joby compare himself to the other soldiers?
6. using evidence from page 168 and 169, describe the feelings that joby has about the upcoming battle.
8. on page 169, joby states, “nothing was as it once was.” what does this statement tell us about joby’s state of mind? support your answer with evidence from the text.
9. what is the author trying to portray with this quote on page 169: “if he lay very still, when the dawn came up and the soldiers put on their bravery with their caps, perhaps they might go away, the war with them, and not notice him lying small here, no more than a toy himself.”
