Tocqueville

  Tocqueville was basically a twisted up story that had horrifying details from someone's life. For an example, on pg 25 when he talked about how his best friend got arrested for child pornography. And how he mentions those same people were adults and are probably fantasizing, masturbating, etc is horrifying to think about. Another thing that was twisted is the fact that he talked about how his Bestfriend father was on an oxygen tank and smoked until he died. That is a depressing thing.

  Another twisted story on Tocqueville is when he talked about how they already killed his wife on the field, and forced him to buldgeon his baby. The worst pain a caring parent can feel is witnessing their innocent child dying. It's like their life was taken right their because when a child is brought into this world, the parents are now living for that child whom is a blessing. And even after the fact when they forced him to kill his innocent baby, they STILL cut his arms off. Horrifying stories like those are what makes you get into deep thought.

  In conclusion, Tocqueville is a very horrifying twisted story made into poems. I think its to bring poems into a whole another poetic level. I think that because it will make people get into deep thought, or maybe even inspire others to make deep, emotional poems. Poems do not always have a happy ending.
