5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Who is the speaker of "The Unknown Citizen", and on what occasion is the poem spoken?
Look at the dedication and at the pronouns the speaker uses.
Name four official sources of information about the citizen mentioned in the poem.
Most sentences cite an office or an official report.
Which official body opens the State's report by finding no complaint against the citizen?
It is the office that counts things.
How many children did the citizen have?
The Eugenist approved the number.
Convert the State's report into an official record card with at least eight labelled fields, using only information from the poem. Then write a short paragraph explaining what the card cannot record.
Go through the poem in order and give each official source its own field.
The State reports on the citizen's union, on his responses to advertising, and on the number of his children. Explain what these three details reveal about the extent of the State's control.
Treat each detail as one area of life (work, mind, family) and ask what it means for the State to measure it.
