------------------------------------------------ Read the excerpt from "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England."

"Sir Thomas Elyot is worth listening to on this subject. Although he is a layman and not a physician, his book, 'The Castel of Health,' proves hugely influential - it goes into its sixteenth edition in 1595. He declares that mutton is the most wholesome meat you can eat and that fish is not so good because it thins the blood. He also thinks that spices and vegetables are bad for you."

Why does the author use the second-person point of view in this excerpt?

A. The author wants to describe the time period accurately.
B. The author wants to create a convincing argument.
C. The author wants to present factual information effectively.
D. The author wants to help the reader relate to the subject thoughtfully.

The speaker also expresses exactly what he feels when he stands in front of the dark stone and considers the 58,022 names: grief. He "half-expect[s]" to see his name written in "letters like smoke" on the memorial as he looks at it. This implies that he believes a piece of himself actually died in Vietnam.

What is the speaker contemplating as he views the memorial?

The speaker first recognizes himself as the stone memorial before becoming aware of himself.

What is the speaker's identity revealed by the metaphor in stone?

When the speaker claims that he is both literal and metaphorical, he is alluding to both his physical body and its mirror image as seen in the granite. Being stone implies that he is hardening himself in order to withstand the strong emotions.
