However, a lesser-known technique, juxtaposition, illuminates the racism theme so prominent in his classic short story "King of the Bingo Game." By contrasting the main character's major fantasy with his real-life situation, Ellison makes more poignant the gap between white and black America in the 1930s.

X. J. Kennedy's note in his Introduction to Poetry helps readers understand a critical question about William Carlos Williams's "The Red Wheelbarrow": why "so much depends / upon / a red wheel / barrow." Kennedy reports that according to a librarian acquaintance of Williams, the poem refers to a moment when the poet was "gazing from the window of the house where one of his patients, a small girl, lay suspended between life and death" (32). Simply put, Williams was looking for perspective. When read carefully, in fact, the poem is not only a statement about the importance of perspective ("so much depends") but an exercise that forces readers to experience actual changes in perspective.
