Among the choices, the text from "After Twenty Years" that best provides evidence that "Silky Bob" was surprised that his friend is now a policeman is A. <span>"His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished."
Two best friends, Bob and Jimmy, twenty years ago, have agreed to meet in front of a hardware store at exactly 10 pm. Bob was waiting for his friend Jimmy when a policeman approached him and asked what he was doing there. The policeman afterwards left. A man who introduced himself as Jimmy then approached Bob. However, while walking down the street, as light hit the other man's face, Bob realized that it wasn't his friend. The man then told him he was arrested and handed him a note. It was then that Bob realized that the policeman earlier was his friend Jimmy. Jimmy was unable to arrest his friend so instead, he asked a bystander to confront Bob. </span>
After reading the poem "The Hangman", by Maurice Ogden, we can answer the questions:
1. The Hangman built the gallows to hang the townspeople in front of the courthouse.
2. The townspeople wondered who the Hangman would kill. He told them he would kill someone who "served [him] the best."
3. The Hangman hanged first a man who was from another land, not from that town.
4. The townspeople asked him if he had not killed the foreigner the day before. In other words, they wondered why he was still there. I believe the Hangman had not left because he intended, all along, to kill the others.
5. The one who spoke out against the Hangman was hanged by him.
6. The third person was a Jew. The townspeople ask him if that was the man who served him well. The fourth executed was a black man.
7. The townspeople stop asking questions and reacting to the killings. I believe they are feeling both afraid and confused, because the Hangman does not answer their questions directly and never leaves.
8. The speaker thinks the Hangman called him to help pull down the gallows.
9. The Hangman really called him with the intention of hanging him. When the speaker accuses the Hangman of having lied, the Hangman asks who has served him more faithfully than the speaker.
- The poem "The Hangman" by Maurice Ogden is a narrative poem from a first-person perspective.
- The poem criticizes people and government's inertia in the face of injustice and cruelty. Many interpret the poem as a criticism to the world's reaction to Nazism.
- The first people hanged by the Hangman are precisely those he knows no one will defend: a stranger, a Jew, a black man.
- People do nothing about it. As long as it does not happen to them, they do not care about the suffering of others.
- Finally, the Hangman begins to hang everyone. Now, his excuse for killing them is precisely the fact that they did not help the others.
- In conclusion, the poem is a fierce critique against violence, injustice, and inertia.
