Where did the poet Les finger Les finger
Answers
Answer:
In the poem “Child Logic” a group of children experiments with a tomahawk (a small axe), resulting in a severed finger.
In the first stanza, the “smallest girl” of the group is chosen as the subject of the experiment and it is implied that one boy, the leader of the group, intended to cut the finger off.
The second stanza takes place immediately after he cut off her finger. Realizing that their action will have severe consequences all the kids run away, leaving the injured girl. The last line of the stanzas reveals that the same boy will also injure the girl’s brother at a later point.
In the third and fourth stanza the girl is hiding behind a bush with her cut-off finger, too afraid to face her parent who she knows will disapprove. The last line however hints at the fact that, though she knows her parents will be angry, she doesn’t understand what exactly she did wrong in that situation.
