The poet seems angry with the modern life and annoyed at the fact that so many people waste their lives by worrying about the “deadlines” and reading the “junkmail”. In the first stanza the poet is trying to present to the reader what an everyday life looks like for many people. At the same time she is trying to show us that we should forget about all those things and concentrate on the nature. She uses repetition of the word “let” which is like a command; this suggests that she wants the reader to realize that the modern world is very chaotic and not important. She reinforces this fact by saying the “e-mils fly like panicked, tiny birds” which implies that the modern life is very hectic and unorganised.
As soon as readers are introduced to Mrs. Turpin, they feel passing judgment in the doctor’s office: “She stood looming at the head of the magazine table[…]a living demonstration that the room was inadequate and ridiculous” (O’Connor 818). Here Mrs. Turpin hunts for something to criticize and to judge and judgment is suggested through her physical presence. Her displeasure towards the room points her overall arrogance. This portrays Mrs. Turpin’s state of mind prior to her revelation. As a woman of God, Mrs. Turpin often has dreams of herself talking with Jesus about who she would be if she could not be herself.

The two spend their time snooping through other students’ rooms, watching porn together, and eating Thanksgiving at the Colonel’s house with his mother.

Powell tries to include the scandalous behaviour in his speech to arise sympathy from the audience and to persuade them to support his view. However, Powell uses positive adjectives, such as “charming”, “wide-grinning” to describe the immigrated children, creating a friendly image. Yet, the word Powell uses to describe the children is “piccaninnies”, such condescending word is setting them apart, degrading the image of immigrants.

The problem with my pseudo thinking is that when it comes time for me to have a response I have no clue what was said during the conversation because the only thing I focused on was the topic of discussion. My defensive listening has put me in bad situations with many people, mostly with my wife, I lash out at people because I feel threatened and with my lack of attention I miss parts of the conversation, and that makes it that much more like I am being attacked. Everyone can increase attention by realizing its importance, avoiding the common tendency to day dream, fighting the tendency to give in to
