Crane wrote The Red Badge of Courage to convey the reality of war and its impact on humans rather than to glorify it At times he conveys a mocking attitude toward the subject Which quotations from the text help to convey Crane s tone Select the two correct answers He could see himself in a room of warm tints telling tales to listeners He could exhibit laurels They were insignificant still in a district where laurels were infrequent they might shine When he thought of it later he conceived the impression that it is better to view the appalling than to be merely within hearing The noises of the battle were like stones he believed himself liable to be crushed He admitted that he could not defend himself against this agency It was not within the power of vigilance O After this incident and as he reviewed the battle pictures he had seen he felt quite competent to return home and make the hearts of the people glow with stories of war CHIR
