Question

Part A: How is the narrator most impacted by his daughter's death? -The red bow

Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator was deeply impacted about the death of his daughter because he wanted to find a way to bring peace to her death by enacting the policy of killing all the cats and dogs, healthy or infected, (since no one really knew which one was infected) within the village's vicinity. Somehow, focusing on this extreme measure made him comfortable at the thought that no father or mother would experience having his son or daughter killed by an animal in the future.

Explanation:

The question is related to the story entitled "The Red Bow," written by George Saunders.

It tells a story about a family whose daughter was killed by dogs. In order to ensure that the village would be safe from infected dogs who'd do the same incident in the future, they enacted a policy that all cats and dogs will be killed in the area with the help of the "Animal Removal Officers." Objecting the rule would bring about penalties.
