the generations.

Answer 1

This really won't help but here is the article for u mate

Step-by-step explanation:

For us lads of eighteen they ought to have been mediators and guides to the world of maturity, the world of work, of duty, of culture, of progress—to the future. We often made fun of them and played jokes on them, but in our hearts we trusted them. The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom. But the first death we saw shattered this belief. We had to recognise that our generation was more to be trusted than theirs. . . . The first bombardment showed us our mistake, and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces.

While they continued to write and talk, we saw the wounded and dying. While they taught that duty to one's country is the greatest thing, we already knew that death-throes are stronger. But for all that we were no mutineers, no deserters, no cowards--they were very free with all these expressions. We loved our country as much as they; we went courageously into every action; but also we distinguished the false from true, we had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the text, excerpt, link to the article, or the name of the author. Without that information, it is impossible to know what you are talking about.

However, trying to help, we did some deep research and can comment on the following.

The author's main point about the relationship between the generations is that there is a different approach to life between the two generations, recognizing that the teachings of the older generation were not right as they used to believe. The youngster believed that the older generation were teachers with experience and maturity, but after the first death, all that image shattered into pieces. The younger generation had to start to believe more in themselves, instead of the violent acts of the older generation.
