Answer 1

The four adjectives that I feel best describe "The Bird" are

1. Sadistic
2. Psychopathic
3. Delusional
4. Vicious

From the story, The Bird enjoyed inflicting pain and suffering on others. He beat and tortured the prisoners of war in his camp, and he seemed to take pleasure in their misery.

So, Based on the Bird's Background, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, also known as "The Bird," was born in Japan in 1914. He came from a wealthy family, but he was not accepted into the military academy of his choice. The Bird showed no empathy or remorse for his victims. He lacked a moral compass and seemed to enjoy inflicting pain for its own sake.
