Question 10 • Hopkins FA American Literature (2026-2027)
Both works move from a present moment back to an earlier experience. In “Ambush,” the narrator recalls the moment he threw a grenade during the Vietnam War; in “Facing It,” the speaker’s visit to the memorial brings back memories connected to the war. This use of an earlier event is a flashback, so the shared element is “They include a flashback about an event.”
