The danger that unsuspecting women and children would undergo would be too much for a man to worry about. “Abruptly I stopped short” and he says that his first instinct was that “[he] would go [his]” way ( ). He soon knew that was not an option and that he must kill this living creature. As the battle began, the snake “held his ground” while the man left for a short while, only to go to the “ranch house, get a hoe, and [return] ( ). The diction is written very well to point out what the man is feeling and helps the reader to infer just what the snake was emoting as
Patten learned at school that ‘one and one made two’. This metaphor is referring to love and how one person and another come together to make two. But at home it was a completely different story; Patten had parents who fought and didn’t take much interest in him, Patten’s home life ‘stung more than any teachers cane’ which shows the extent of how painful love came across to him. In his home life he learned that ‘one and one stayed one and one’. His parents actions when he was young left him with the idea that love and relationships are horrible and all it does is hurt us, he felt as if it’s not worth going through the pain and stress.

Due to her domineering presence this meant that any chance that child A’s mother had of being able to fulfil her role as the primary carer was undermined and must have caused great stress and tension within the family unit. This is picked up on by the child who will often display negative behaviour just before a home visit in the hope that care staff will cancel it. This would remove the burden of saying she doesn’t want to go herself which she feels would be like rejecting her family. This finally leads me to the grandfather who would have been the only male to have been involved in child A’s development but he appears to have taken a very minor role and chose to stay in the background letting his domineering wife pull the family strings.
