Which statement best describes the effect of repeating the
phrase "face to face"?

It demonstrates that the narrator is surrounded by nature.

Explanation:

The term face to face means you're right up close to something, it is right in front of your nose. The fact that the narrator is describing so many elements as being face to face with him shows that nature is absolutely everywhere around him, so close. 

o

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
