PLEASE HURRY HURRY HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The road was crowded and there were screens of corn-stalk and straw matting on both sides and matting over the top so that it was like the entrance at a circus or a native village. Keeping in mind Hemingway’s iceberg principle, what feeling is he trying to convey by describing the scene as an “entrance to a circus or a native village”? a feeling of unease as the narrator is driving into a peculiar and alien location a feeling of sadness at the devastation that has been caused by violence of war a feeling of joy as the narrator realizes that he is alive despite all the carnage a feeling of defeat about a war that has taken so many lives and still continues on

He is inferring that the place is as crowded or popular as a circus.

Hope it helped! :)

Answer:

a feeling of unease as the narrator is driving into a peculiar and alien location

Step-by-step explanation:

The iceberg theory refers to a writing style suggested by Ernest Hemingway, whose previous work as a journalist made him write about instant circumstances which required little interpretation.

In the excerpt from "A Farewell to Arms," the narrator provides a description of the road he is driving through, which he finds unfamiliar and odd.
