 In "The Carp," by Yun Wang, the use of the carp to represent something deeper is an example of Synecdoche. The carp is used to represent the pain and injustice of her father’s imprisonment. “The Carp is dedicated to Wang’s father, and many of the poems in her little book tell stories from that period.

Throughout the poem, the significance of the carp changes, as well as the relationship of the characters to the carp. In the first section, we learn about the 20 pound carp. This symbolizes luck, good fortune and hope. The relationship of the characters to it is a positive one.

However, as the story continues, the carp turns into a negative symbol when we learn about Confucius's son. He was named "carp," but he died, representing bad luck.

The carp continues to be a negative symbol as the author tells us about how his father was betrayed. We see that those who loved the father but turned against him tasted the carp. Towards the end, the carp's meaning is one of negativity, representing pain and humiliation, and the relationship between the characters and the carp is one of betrayal and sadness.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Rody is responsible for his acts.

Explanation:

Rody is responsible for his acts. He knows the consequences of drinking, but he does it anyway. He might do it due to a lack of self-control or because he considers that the benefits are more than the consequences. We can see that he is capable of thinking, making decisions, and aware of the outcomes that it could bring, so the responsibility of making the right decisions like drinking another beverage or not drinking at all are on him.

In this case, as he decides to drink liquor, which leads to drinking it in excess and misbehave, we can see that he was not responsible for his decisions.
