Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical reactions? ambush by tim o'brien (excerpt) there was no sound at all--none that i can remember. in a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. i had already pulled the pin on a grenade. i had come up to a crouch. it was entirely automatic. i did not hate the young man; i did not see him as the enemy; i did not ponder issues of morality or politics or military duty. i crouched and kept my head low. i tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. i was terrified. there were no thoughts about killing. the grenade was to make him go away--just evaporate--and i leaned back and felt my mind go empty and then felt it fill up again. symptoms by john steinbeck (excerpt) they would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. this was considered heroic in them. it was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. but many of these men had no such consideration in any other field. only recently have i found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. they did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember. in all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. the ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. fear and ferocity are products of the same fluid.

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
