andthat we had reached an international stature that would forever prevent us from retreatingbehind the artificial walls of a provincial morality or the geographical protection of ourtwo bordering oceans.—metaphor3 War or no war,as the generations passed,it became increasingly difficult for ouryoung people to accept standards of behavior that bore no relationship to the bustlingbusiness medium in which they were expected to battle for success.—metaphor4 The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian socialstructure,and by precipitationg our young people into a pattern of mass murder itreleased their inhibited violent energies which,after theshooting was over,were turned inboth Europe and America to the destruction of an obsolescent nineteenth centurysociety.—metaphor5 The prolonged stalemate of 1915-1916,the increasing insolence of Germany towardthe United States,and our official reluctance to declare our status as a belligerent wereintolerable to many of our idealistic citizens,and with typical American adventurousnessenhanced somewhat by the strenuous jingoism of TheodoreRoosevelt,our young menbegan to enlist under foreign flags.—metonymy6 After the war,it was only natural that hopeful young writers,their minds and pensinflamed against war,Babbittry,and”Puritanical”gentility,should flock to the traditionalartistic
