Bleeder By Stephen Dobyns Is A Direct Narrator

The characterization method that is present in the poem “Bleeder” by Stephen Dobyns is direct because of the following reasons. My main reason I think the direct method is used because the narrator describes all the things he wants to do to the boy that bleeds. He says he wanted to make a cut into him and wanted to see how much he would bleed. Then the other campers were also like the narrator because at one point he said “We each know how much the other would like to see him bleed.” Finally there's the “man on the hill” which I think is the person in charge. You could tell he doesn’t care because he doesn’t interfere until a near death situation occurs. We know now that the narrator was weird because he stalked the boy but also had dreams
