Bound Man

The Bound Man by Ilse Aighinger The thing that I ready most compelling in the explanation The Bound Man was that the objet dart was not worried ab by universeness released from the rope, rather he cherished to be echo and with that disadvantage he learned to adapt with it and create it off flavour as if he wasnt resound at all. The undercoat why I chance his authority and his own reaction to it so compelling is because while I was reading the story, I was putting myself in his situation and I would not of thought to react in such(prenominal) a behavior as he. In the beginning, where the cosmoskind had awoken from his sleep to find that he was springiness, he found happiness in that situation.Through out the story there were people who were amused by his situation, notwithstanding also had liberality in which the parachute earth was completely against he took that situation and do it seem like it was not a problem, that perplexed me. But unagitated I find it a ll truly compelling. His arms were tied to all(prenominal) other but not to his body, and had some unloose play too. This make him smile. pg. 68-69 Even though his arms were not tied to his body, I matte myself becoming uncomfortable. To enkindle up jumped, I would see no soundly in that situation besides still be alive.Not only was he hold backed, he was outside and woke up to flies around him which made the situation even worse. I read this story and put myself in his invest I could only contradict all his actions. My perspective comes from me not being an outside person whatsoever. I come from a family that if decided, we even go camping or to a national park, we dont go in tents we rent out a cabin, lodge or a hotel. I wasnt raised to be an outside person or to even like animals, so when I value of waking up to flies and being tied up outside I withdraw of myself going crazy, screaming for help.It amazed me however, to see that someone lav wake up in the position th e bound man was in, without crying out for help. It seems carless to me, carless about life But also so brave and adventurous because through his situation he built strength and adapted to being bound, something I wouldnt of ever been capable to do. These antics amused the bound man because he could make believe freed himself if he had wanted to whenever he liked, but by chance he wanted to learn a few new jumps scratch line pg 73. The bound man was amused by the antics the people in the circus tried in order to set him free.There was many cases that the man could of freed himself, but he didnt. He wanted his body to get used to these ropes and he was going to make the best out of his situation and learn from it. To my surprise, the bound man had ran into a wolf and was able to protect himself, even with being limited to movement. This man was powerful. The fact that he found a way to take action and be optimistic with being bound and refused to free himself, gained him a lot of power. He was the victim at first because he was robbed and bound, but he became the one in power by overcoming it, and not letting it stop him from anything.In my opinion, the ones who can overcome huge obstacles in life are truly the ones with the most power and strength. When I think of bound MAN I think of strong and fearless. Men are believed to have a lot of pride and to not show their weaknesses they want to be looked at as superior, and in the story I think the bound man was superior. People were interested in him and his life, but didnt recognise his purposed. I tend to appreciate people who are very positive because it changes my perspective on how I live my life. I often disembodied spirit like I react off of teeny things, and make short situations bigger then they are.When something goes wrong, I feel like everything is wrong and postal code can be fixed. As an example. Last week my shoulder was dislocated, I felt helpless and I had 2 feet and another arm that coul d be used. With expert my one arm not being able to portion like it normally can, I was upset and angry and acted like the total world was over. I didnt do anything besides taking chafe medication and lay in my room. This story brought about a diametrical perspective on how I reacted to my shoulder. I could of been happy that at to the lowest degree my shoulder was put back in place, and that it was a minor contend and would be back to normal soon.But I am a prominent person, and Ive never looked at the grievous side of things, which is something I heed I did. As a result to the man being bound he became powerful. The condition the bound man was in and the actions he took during, gained him strength. I do believe that there is a consequence to everything you do. Whether it be well behaved or bad, is how you react upon the situation. At the end of the story when the circus owner decided that telling the people in the village the bound man had killed a wolf, he though that there would be a good consequence out of doing that to revive the triumphs of the summer.He was wrong, his actions come about to the bound man having to prove his superior. And because people did not believe in his superior he was forced to prove himself by being in a cage with a wolf. Not only did he kill the wolf, but he was no longer one with his rope. The proprietors wife did not believe in the bound mans power, so she cut him free of his rope while he was in the cage. The consequence of her actions lead to there being no place in killing the wolf, the man was now unbound and he no longer had a purpose. So he shot the wolf instead. Without his bound the man felt weak, and blood rushed to his feet.Her actions not only lead to the death of the wolf, but soon to the death of the man himself. The way that the bound man saw his situation had a consequence as well. It gained him power, and he learned to do new thing with just a little amount of movement, and with that I felt the story was compelling. Reading this story changed my all perspective on how I react to certain things. It made me think that it would be so much easier in the long run if you just see the bright side of bad situations But also, to not have so much pride that you feel you must prove yourself to others, because that itself, can lead to bad consequences.
