Why aren't harrison's parents more emotionally impacted by the death of their son?

English
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
8 0
In Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, Harrison's parents are incapable of being emotionally impacted by their son's death due to their numerous handicaps.

Because they are so handicapped, they are unable to concentrate or focus on something for more than a moment. Their handicaps prevent them from thinking clearly or remembering details. As a result, although they initially feel sad, they quickly forget what happened and continue watching television.

Read the following passage from Heart of Darkness and then answer the question. "I found myself back in the sepulchral city rese
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

D. Marlow, back in the city, finds the daily lives and concerns of his fellow citizens to be petty.

Explanation:

Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" centers around the character of Marlow who had gone to the African continent to meet Kurtz. This whole plot revolves around the occurrences of the journey.

The above passage is from the third part of the book where Marlow had returned back to Europe. He had no clear memory of how he got back but he is also not appreciative of the European people and their worries. He exclaims that this city looks like a tombstone, filled with "<em>people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams</em>". To him, their daily lives and concerns are so petty as compared to the things he had experienced and seen with his very own eyes.
