Determine whether each quotation has the characteristics of idealism or realism.
The captain of the youth's company had
been killed in an early part of the action.
His body lay stretched out in the position
of a tired man resting, but upon his face
there was an astonished and sorrowful
look, as if he thought some friend had
done him an ill turn. The babbling man
was grazed by a shot that made the
blood stream widely down his face.
He clapped both hands to his head
(from The Red Badge of Courage
by Stephen Crane)
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red
glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave
proof through the night that our flag was
still there; O say does that star-spangled
banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave? (from “Star
Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key)
Cruelty so fiendish could never have a cause,
but it cannot be denied that the torture of
Crawford was the effect of the butchery of
the Christian Indians. That awful deed was an
act of even greater wickedness, for it was the
act of men who were not savage by birth or
race or creed. (from “The Torture of Colonel
Crawford” by William Dean Howells )
