Question

which lines from the poem facing it best communicate the authors internal conflict to the reader?
i said i wouldnt,
dammit. no tears
im stone. im flesh
(lines 3 - 5)
my clouded reflection eyes me
like a bird of prey, the profile of night
slanted against morning.
(lines 6 - 8)
i go down the 58 022 names,
half - expecting to find
my own in letters like smoke
(lines 14 - 16)
a white vets image floats
closer to me, then his pale eyes
look through mine. im a window

Explanation:

En las líneas "I said I wouldn't, dammit. No tears. I'm stone. I'm flesh" (líneas 3 - 5), el autor muestra un conflicto interno. La frase "I said I wouldn't, dammit. No tears" muestra una intención de no llorar, de ser "stone" (piedra, sin emociones), pero luego dice "I'm flesh" (soy carne, es decir, humano con emociones). Esta contradicción expresa el conflicto interno del autor.

Answer:

I said I wouldn't, dammit. No tears. I'm stone. I'm flesh (lines 3 - 5)
