Analyzing The Idiot Boy William Wordsworth's poem "The Idiot Boy" is perhaps atypical of much of Wordsworth's other works in that it tells a story in which the author is himself not a character. Many of Wordsworth's poems seem to involve him either coming upon a person or place, or explicitly remembering doing so. Here, if this poem is a memory, it is not announced as such.

The day is unlike any other. The mail has come and lying at the bottom of the stack is the favored Outside magazine.

Tularecito is a test. The test is one of moral caliber. It is a test of the souls of the characters who overshadaow Tularecito. Pancho is a man that is both holy and sinful.

A small joke about anything racist could be funny at the time but in the long run, it could lead to a devastating effect on someone. At the young age of 15, a boy named Tharukshan Selvan committed suicide over racist bullying. People made fun of his appearance and skin colour.

There was a straining, ripping sound and a few drops of rain spattered to the ground. The ball screamed toward the pitcher and seemed suddenly to dive down at his feet. He grabbed it to throw to first and realized to his horror that he held only the cover”(70). Roy Hobbs is also a natural in the sense that he is a kind of idiot. In the pre-game Roy
consumers' heads as long as they buy it. For instance, last year Kylie Jenner released her supposed “lip regimen” that consisted of putting a shot glass, or small cup, over one’s lips and sucking in slightly to create a vacuum. Many young girls and boys attempted to perfectly plump their lips to no avail. Because these poor unfortunate souls trusted a well know beauty icon; they failed to research the effects of applying that much pressure on someone’s lips.
