Answer: Sergent Duffy didn’t take her seriously and due to that Mrs.Stevenson became really frustrated
Explanation:
In the story "The Red Bow" by George Saunders, we learn of a town that gets together in order to kill a massive number of dogs due to the death of a girl who was bitten by a rabid dog.
The man who organizes such killing is Uncle Matt. Despite the fact that the measures he suggests are extreme, many of the people of the town support Uncle Matt's decision. One of the main reasons why this happens is because Uncle Matt is able to appeal to the people's emotions. He does this through the use of a red bow as a symbol for the life that was lost. He also achieves this by highlighting the importance of community and unity in the life of the town.
There are many examples of real-life situations in which grief or strong emotions cause people to take extreme measures. An example is the terrorist group IRA that developed in Ireland. This group took extreme measures in order to achieve their goals, including assassinations and bombs. Their actions were caused by the anger and grief they felt towards the English domination of Ireland.
A statement proving another wrong
Answer:
Part A: The statement which best describes the theme of the poem is:
C. Tragedy occurs both on the grand, collective scale and on the smaller, individual scale.
Part B: The quote which best supports the answer to Part A is:
B. "It solved by itself a math problem / that multiplied the one death by millions / to equal homeland." (Lines 37 - 39)
Explanation:
I found this question online; it refers to the poem "Bag of Bones" by Dunya Mikhail.
<u>The poem's theme concerns the death of many as well as the death of one. </u>One death will bring an impact with it - in the poem, it is the mother who lost her son. When a mass grave was dug up, she was able to find his remains, which brought back the memories of when he was alive as well as the feeling of loss and injustice - his death was the result of a dictatorship.
However, many more mothers are still there, at the grave, looking for their children. That one mother's tragedy is the same tragedy of many others. <u>What the dictator has done is ruin several individual lives which, when put together, results in a collective tragedy for millions.</u>
