“In Country” By: Bobbie Ann Mason I had a difficult time with the characters and the setting of the story. This might have been on purpose on Bobbie Ann Mason’s part‚ to connect in a very close and emotional way. This novel would really connect with people who lived through the Vietnam war and the 1980’s.

Mr. Bleaney Mr. Bleaney is a poem by Philip Larkin. It has seven stanzas split into two main themes. It is about the thoughts of Larkin as the landlady shows him around the room of the mysterious ‘Mr. Bleaney’. I think that ‘the Bodies’ was where he worked; it could be a colloquial reference to a particular part of a company. This would fit in with ‘They moved him’ as it could be a transfer. ‘Bodies’ is also quite relevant because the poem was written immediately after the Second World War.
