Auto Wreck is a poem that concentrates on a “live” car accident and brings the reader directly into contact with the consequences of such a violent, horrific scenario. He served in the second world war and wrote war poems which reflected his experiences of trauma and violence.

Answer: B. It emphasizes the individual impacts the war had on the survivors. Explanation: In using the word ”Someone”, the poet wants to draw our attention to the fact that the war impacts each individual survivor of the war as they attempt to rebuild their homes and country.

The mimetic theory of desire is an explanation of human behavior and culture which originated with the French historian and polymath René Girard. “Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires.”

Scapegoat theory refers to the tendency to blame someone else for one’s own problems, a process that often results in feelings of prejudice toward the person or group that one is blaming. Scapegoating serves as an opportunity to explain failure or misdeeds, while maintaining one’s positive self-image.

The scapegoat was sent into the wilderness for Azazel, possibly for the purpose of placating that evil spirit, while a separate goat was slain as an offering to God. By extension, a scapegoat has come to mean any group or individual that innocently bears the blame of others.

(Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a goat upon whose head are symbolically placed the sins of the people after which he is sent into the wilderness in the biblical ceremony for Yom Kippur. 2a : one that bears the blame for others. b : one that is the object of irrational hostility.

n. 1. in general, any group to which one does not belong or with which one does not identify.

An out-group, conversely, is a group someone doesn’t belong to; often we may feel disdain or competition in relationship to an out-group. Sports teams, unions, and sororities are examples of in-groups and out-groups; people may belong to, or be an outsider to, any of these.

Concepts intro- duced subsequently, such as ingroups and outgroups, intergroup boundaries, and group vitalities, are important to the study of intergroup communication and can assist when analyzing interactions with those from another culture (be it national, organizational, gen- erational, etc.).
