Answer:

The answer to the question: What theme does the speaker´s description of the man support, is, alienation.

Explanation:

"The Legend", is a poem by Asian-American writer Garrett Hongo, which was published in 1988, as part of his book of poetry "The River of Heaven". This particular poem came to life after a pretty strong event that marked Hongo during a trip to Chicago. One day, watching television, he saw a program where they were presenting a short news report on an Asian man who had been shot by accident on the street. What truly marked him was to see how the murder of this man was treated with so little respect, how people cared very little about who the man had been, or anything about him. The man was treated almost as a non-entity. This event spurred Hongo to write his famous poem and what he expresses, in that particular stanza of his poem, is not so much the process of death of the man, which is described by the watching speaker, but rather, the total alienation from the people around towards the dying person. It shows how the people around the dying man simply do not show any emotion, or care, because this man is totally different from them, in every respect, he is not one of them, and therefore, it does not affect them that he has been shot by a boy, or that he is dying without anyone doing anything. This event also forces Hongo to rediscover his own roots as an immigrant and a part-Asian man.

Illusion [34]

Read the excerpt from part 1 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."

He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. “If I could free my hands,” he thought, “I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader’s farthest advance.”

As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man’s brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.

Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?

A.) The prisoner will escape.

B.) The prisoner will beg for mercy.

C.) The execution will commence.

D.) The sergeant will stop the hanging.

Answer:

From the excerpt, the most reasonable plot prediction would be that C.) The execution will commence.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, there are some pieces of evidence which support the idea that the execution will commence.

First, the man is tied up and is thinking of escape from the place by believing that if he could free his hands and dive in to the water, he could "evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home".

Secondly, the second paragraph calls him a "doomed man" and then the captain nodded to the sergeant who stepped aside apparently in signal for the preparation of the execution to begin.

Clustering is a type of prewriting that allows you to explore many ideas as soon as they occur to you. Like brainstorming or free associating, clustering allows you to begin without clear ideas.
