After reading the poem "The Hangman", by Maurice Ogden, we can answer the questions:
1. The Hangman built the gallows to hang the townspeople in front of the courthouse.
2. The townspeople wondered who the Hangman would kill. He told them he would kill someone who "served [him] the best."
3. The Hangman hanged first a man who was from another land, not from that town.
4. The townspeople asked him if he had not killed the foreigner the day before. In other words, they wondered why he was still there. I believe the Hangman had not left because he intended, all along, to kill the others.
5. The one who spoke out against the Hangman was hanged by him.
6. The third person was a Jew. The townspeople ask him if that was the man who served him well. The fourth executed was a black man.
7. The townspeople stop asking questions and reacting to the killings. I believe they are feeling both afraid and confused, because the Hangman does not answer their questions directly and never leaves.
8. The speaker thinks the Hangman called him to help pull down the gallows.
9. The Hangman really called him with the intention of hanging him. When the speaker accuses the Hangman of having lied, the Hangman asks who has served him more faithfully than the speaker.
- The poem "The Hangman" by Maurice Ogden is a narrative poem from a first-person perspective.
- The poem criticizes people and government's inertia in the face of injustice and cruelty. Many interpret the poem as a criticism to the world's reaction to Nazism.
- The first people hanged by the Hangman are precisely those he knows no one will defend: a stranger, a Jew, a black man.
- People do nothing about it. As long as it does not happen to them, they do not care about the suffering of others.
- Finally, the Hangman begins to hang everyone. Now, his excuse for killing them is precisely the fact that they did not help the others.
- In conclusion, the poem is a fierce critique against violence, injustice, and inertia.

Answer:
Gandhi most likely write this speech using a disapproving tone in ashamed and urging tone that is further explained below in detail.
Explanation:
The author’s explanation of his “humiliation” and “shame” symbolizes that his tone is ashamed. Furthermore, his urgent requests for modifications in the Indian education system and appearance to language symbolize that his tone is urging. Disparaging and dismissive both represent a negative and significant tone; disrespectful means offensive; comical means quirky.
As you walk off the stage filled with pride. You think to yourself " Man, i did great, who knows how jealous those popular girls are!" As you walk towards youre parents, they rush over to you giving you a big hug. "I saw you! You did great out there!" said Mom. "Im proud of you" said Dad. You hug them and said "Can I talk to my friends right quick?" they said yes and you go over to the popular girls. You stalk them for a while waiting for them to say anything about youre amazing preformace! As, you overhear them, you are left in shock... " Have you seen that girl on stage? She was so bad, like HA! She dosent know how to dance for anything!" ( Lets call her... Stacy ) said Stacy. "Yeah! Shes so bad!" said Lucy. You come out from the shadows, and decided to say something back to them for roasting your AMAZING dancing skills. "Too bad you can’t count jumping to conclusions and running your mouth as exercise." said Marice. Stacy was mad, so she wanted to get you back. "Says the person who dont know how to dance!" says stacy. Lucy laughed and thought that was a good roast. "OOF, Lucy I thought I had the flu, but then I realized your fa\ce makes me sick to my stomach. Plus, don’t you get tired of putting make up on two faces every morning?" Lucy didnt have a response, so you went back to stacy to finish her off. Stacy pushes you, and says " Wow, that roast was trash, just like your face!" She said while laughing. "At least my phone battery lasts longer than your relation.ships, acting like a pr1ck doesn’t make yours grow bigger." Said Marcie. Stacy was mad but she backed down with you taking victory. " Whatever, cmon Lucy." You walk back over to your parents, and went home for the day. Remembering every last bit of what happened as you went to bed.
