A. & B. The subject matter of Chinua Achebe's "Vultures" is very clear: how good and evil can exist in one person. How does Achebe use trope, image, and allusion to convey this realization about human beings? Present and analyze one example of each (trope, image, and allusion).
Achebe uses the "vulture" as a trope to convey how good and evil can exist in one person. The reference to the commander working at the concentration camp is an allusion. Even though he operates an oven, he picks up sweets for his children at home. Achebe uses this example to portray how good and evil simultaneously exists in a person. He also uses image to compare the commandant to an ogre and a glow-worm for what he does at the concentration camp.
Achebe uses the glow-worm in contrast to the ogre as a trope to show how even a nasty and awful person has small traces of goodness in them. "The icy tavern of a cruel heart" is the image of the type of cold hearted nature the person has regardless of whether there is some good in them.
C. & D. Is Kim Hye Soon's "Sand Woman" a feminist poem or the representation of an apolitical nightmare? Why? To illustrate your response, identify and analyze 3 tropes/images.
"Sand Woman" can be described as a feminist poem and a nightmare. The imagery in the poem describes a woman who persists after losing a loved one, perhaps her husband in a war. The woman suffers from her surroundings and she refuses to give in to the atmosphere. "People came and took her./ They stripped her and placed her in saltwater/ Spread her legs cut her hair and opened her chest" (Kim)/ Yet she refused to open her eyes or keep breathing. Her suffering and her persistence make this a feminist poem. The fact that she does not open her eyes and refuses to breathe symbolize her resistance to the politics around her. Additionally, this woman could be a metaphor for resistance.
