Question

Part A: How is the narrator most impacted by his daughter's death? -The red bow

Answer 1

A) He becomes willing to go to extreme measures to make sure no one else feels the same pain that he does.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the process of elimination:

It would not be B) He becomes cold and uncaring towards other people and animals in the town, C) He becomes confused and unable to differentiate between current events and the memories of his daughter, and D) He becomes distant and no longer invested in helping Uncle Matt find and kill the remaining infected dogs.

In the text it states that he would rather kill every animal existing than allow another family to feel the same pain that he does after the death of Emily.

Answer 2

The narrator was deeply impacted about the death of his daughter because he wanted to find a way to bring peace to her death by enacting the policy of killing all the cats and dogs, healthy or infected, (since no one really knew which one was infected) within the village's vicinity. Somehow, focusing on this extreme measure made him comfortable at the thought that no father or mother would experience having his son or daughter killed by an animal in the future.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is related to the story entitled "The Red Bow," written by George Saunders.

It tells a story about a family whose daughter was killed by dogs. In order to ensure that the village would be safe from infected dogs who'd do the same incident in the future, they enacted a policy that all cats and dogs will be killed in the area with the help of the "Animal Removal Officers." Objecting the rule would bring about penalties.
