5. ‘“It is painfully clear this slaughter was perpetrated by a force that holds zero regard for the value of life.”’ (Paragraph
alexdok [17]

Answer and Explanation

This statement comes from the satiric article titled “Natural Selection Kills 38 Quadrillion Organisms In Bloodiest Day Yet”.

The article is a satire on how violent and ruthless natural selection can be. Natural Selection is an essential part of life. It is pivotal for evolution and it is the force that separates successful adaptations from those which are not. Natural selection, in the form of the struggle between prey and predator, is also essential to ensure there is a biomass equilibrium. This equilibrium is essential for a healthy ecosystem, and therefore to the perpetuation of life over our planet.

The irony in the statement “It is painfully clear this slaughter was perpetrated by a force that holds zero regard for the value of life” comes from a deep understanding of natural selection as an essential force of nature, as an indispensable part of life. Natural selection implies death, and therefore death is a fundamental part of life. Therefore, stating that “this force holds zero regard for the value of life” becomes an ironic comment on the paradoxical and yet indispensable relationship between death and life.

In what way does Mirikitani’s “Attack the Water” compare to Muriel Ruckeyser’s “Poem”?
Amanda [17]
Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.

How does the passage foreshadow doodles death
stich3 [128]
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.
