Determine whether each quotation has the characteristics of idealism or realism.











The captain of the youth's company had been

killed in an early part of the action. His body

lay stretched out in the position of a tired man

resting, but upon his face there was an

astonished and sorrowful look, as if he thought

some friend had done him an ill turn.

The babbling man was grazed by a shot that

made the blood stream widely down his face.

He clapped both hands to his head

(from The Red Badge of Courage by

Stephen Crane)



O'er the ramparts we watched, were so

gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs

bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was

still there;

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the

brave?

(from “Star Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott

Key)



Cruelty so fiendish could never have a cause,

but it cannot be denied that the torture of

Crawford was the effect of the butchery of

the Christian Indians. That awful deed was an

act of even greater wickedness, for it was the

act of men who were not savage by birth or

race or creed.

(from “The Torture of Colonel Crawford” by

William Dean Howells )
