Read this excerpt from Kinnell's poem "Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond":

And I hear,
coming over the hills, America singing,
her varied carols I hear:
crack of deputies' rifles practicing their aim on stray dogs
at night,
sput of cattleprod,
TV going on about the smells of the human body,
curses of the soldier as he poisons, burns, grinds, and
stabs
the rice of the world,
with open mouth, crying strong, hysterical curses.

What is this part of the poem about?
A. America's involvement in the war
B. Tadpoles who may never grow into frogs
C. The rice paddies that soldiers trudge through
D. The casualties in Vietnam

Sagot :

Answer:

d) The casualties in Vietnam

Explanation:

Kinnell doesn't set out to write a politically charged poem, but the connections he makes lead him in that direction, nonetheless. While living in a Vietnamese hamlet, the narrator of the poem Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond hears "America Singing," a song composed of the crunching of weapons and the buzz of a bomber jet. Thus, it contrasts conflict with tranquility by depicting a bomber against a tranquil background of the loss.
