Answer:

The numbers one through eight scattered across the page typifies the number of times Wook Kim was shot.

Explanation:

According to the poem, Wook Kim was a Korean that lived as an immigrant in America. He was killed while on a night duty as a worker in the gas station. Bart Edelman described Kim's death as violent and inhumane. The numbers one through eight scattered across the page as an introduction to the poem is significant of the number of times Kim was shot. This is a literary device that Bart used to arouse the emotions of the readers. It also shows the violence that was entrenched in such murder, the reason why he later described the gas station as a morgue, a metaphor typifying the site of such violent murder. The description of the fatality of his death ( eight bullet shots) explains the death a man who found himself among a people whose way of life he found difficult to understand.

ryzh [129]
