Most first person perspective tend to be biased, and narrows the experience.
The School Boy" is a poem written in the pastoral tradition that focuses on the downsides of formal learning. It considers how going to school on a summer day "drives all joy away".The boy in this poem is more interested in escaping his classroom than he is with anything his teacher is trying to teach. In lines 16-20, a child in school is compared to a bird in a cage.Meaning something that was born to be free and in nature, is instead trapped inside and made to be obedient. Hope this helps;)
Answer:
When I first read this short story I was at a sense of loss by the end of it. I thought he had escaped death and was going to return to his family.
At the point in the story where you quoted, I had a hope that the man was going to get away. A logical prediction would be to condemn this man to death still because he was sorrounded by troops and in enemy territory. However, we think that the author will have mercy on the protagonist, and through that mercy the man will get away.
I hope this helps, good luck.
