Although I cannot post a whole narrative here, I can give you topics to develop into one. I will provide as many details as possible about the soldier and his thoughts:

  • The soldier is annoyed to be sent to the town. It is a long journey, and he does not think it is worth his time. However, he obeys orders, so he goes.
  • When he gets to the town, he cannot understand most of what people say because he speaks a different dialect.
  • He sees the townspeople as fragile and humble. He does not despise them, but he is also not specially fond of them.
  • The soldier thinks the tax-collector is too pompous. Since the soldier comes from a big city, he knows what real government authorities look like. The tax-collector is but small fish compared to others.
  • The ceremony involving the tax-collector and the townspeople is long and boring.
  • The soldier thinks the ceremony should be dropped, since it always ends in a refusal.
  • He cannot understand why the townspeople maintain the tradition that is the ceremony.

- This question refers to the short story "The Refusal" by Bohemian author Franz Kafka. The soldiers are mentioned by the narrator in the story.

- The soldiers are minor characters whose presence intimidates the townspeople.

- They speak a different dialect and look aggressive. The townspeople do not enjoy being around the soldiers.

- In the story, a ceremony takes place in which the townspeople ask the tax-collector for help with a problem. Whenever they do so and the problem is big, the tax-collector refuses to help.

- The soldiers are present during the ceremony, although they don't do anything.

- In conclusion, having the information above in mind, we can write a narrative from the perspective of a soldier.
