Sam expresses to the speaker ("Cap") his dread of being interred in a cold cemetery and demands that Cap commit to having his body cremated once he passes away.

In this poem, Service tells the tale of Tennessee native Sam McGee, who perished in the frigid north pole. This is a tale about one's lust and how it can ruin one's life. The title character became so obsessed with riches that he lost sight of the world around him.

He eventually passed away while looking for gold. The poem's narrator discusses Sam's life story and his dying wish to be cremated. He loathed being buried beneath the bitter polar ice. He requested that the speaker cremate him because of this. As a result, the entire poem is written in iambic octameter. There are a few differences in this poem, though.

What conclusion can readers draw about Charlie based on his description of taking the Rorschach test?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

On March 4th, when Charlie took the Rorschach Test, he was supposed to view the images of the inkblots and freely imagine what he saw in them. But Charlie only saw the inkblots for what they were: blobs of ink. Even when Burt tells him to imagine, to pretend, to look for something there in the card, Charlie can't. He struggles to give a true description of the cards, pointing out how one was "a very nice pictur of ink with pritty points all around the eges," but again, this isn't the response that the psychologist is looking for.

Like ambiguously shaped clouds in which people "see" images of people and animals, the inkblots have enough random, busy shapes on them for people to interpret them as many different things--people, animals, scenes, conflicts, and so on. The idea is that the psychologist will pay attention to what a person thinks he or she sees in the inkblots, which is supposed to provide insight on what that person thinks and feels overall.

As a result of Charlie's inability to properly take this test, he worries that he's failed and that he won't be a candidate for the treatment to increase his intelligence. And while he gets frustrated with himself during the test, and while Burt seems to get almost angry--as evinced when his pencil point breaks--I wouldn't say that Charlie is angry in this situation.

But what this scene does reveal about his character is that perhaps he's already smarter than we expect. By insisting on seeing the inkblots for what they really are, and by failing to imagine scenes and images that are false or skewed, Charlie shows that he's not just honest but scrupulous. This early evidence of his good character foreshadows the upcoming conflicts he has with the men at the bakery as well as the researchers themselves, who are less scrupulous.
