English

Arturiano [62]4 years ago
3 0

In his poem "Counting small-boned bodies", Mr. Bly brings up a series of cynical ideas around the practice of dead-body counting for statistical measures. Specifically, the free-verse poem criticizes the effects of the Vietnam war in 1955.

Firstly, Bly engages the incautious reader in the gore activity with an invitation "let's count the bodies over again". Inmediately after, a sadistic tone sets in when a both childlike and wicked narrator wonders "If we could only make the bodies smaller".

Throughout the poem, the latter verse is repeated twice more with the purpose of letting the reader anticipate a new evil fantasy to follow each time. In a Pavlovian sort of way, the reader learns to expect the hit of vivid imagery following this verse which naturally heightens the emotional impact through anxious anticipation.

The repetition in the poem reminds the cringing readers they are being forcibly carried along the horrors of war through cold-blodded visions which may emobdy the darkness within their own war-consenting society.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

    The idea of what it means to be successful after high school greatly varies from person to person, as everyone has different goals and aspirations for their future. In today's society, being called successful is often associated with wealth, however for many this is not the goal.

    Many people strive to be morally successful over wealth, as they feel that being part of a good cause is more important. Many professions that fall under this category are joining the army to protect and serve, representing your country in international sports, or participating in a non-profit organization.

How does Charlie's opinion of the Rorschach test change during the story?
irina [24]

Charlie's opinion of the Rorschach test changes in the story as :

"At first he thinks the tester is trying to trick him. Then he discovers there is nothing to the test."

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the story, "Flowers For Algernon", Charlie is selected for a one of it's king surgery where doctors are trying whether one's intelligence can be increased by operating on the brain.

He is selected as he is otherwise a mentally dull person. After the surgery, he is being put through a series of tests, Rorschach being one of them.

When Burt tells him to view the inkblots and mention what he can see in them, Charlie gets confused as he can see nothing but abstract ink bolts.

In the process, he thinks this is a trick being played by the examiner, but yet is not able to view anything in the test.

This way, his opinion about the test changes, and rather gets frustrated as he feels he is not performing well in the test.
