However, the process results in two paradoxes that make it difficult for the mind to achieve alleviation from trauma (Potamianou 946).

Barnes’s two voices are effective in how much they pop up, slowing the narrative and forcing the reader to slow down along with Anthony and have a moment of reflection while at the same time wondering why Anthony is so concerned with paradoxes of time and providing anecdotes about trees in his former yard. On the other hand, McCullers chooses for her narrator’s lamenting voice to show itself far less often and in much more specific…

Within this war, America faced not only military challenges, but challenges towards their issued foreign policies as well. Furthermore, America’s excuse, of a communism threat, to enter the war not only appeared ambiguous but rather contradictory.
