Mentioning where an individual sleeps conveys their innocence when an individual sleeps they are no longer in control and their mind takes over, they are innocent of their actions. Shakespeare demonstrates that when an individual destroys family ties they also damage innocence, the Secret Life of Bees mirrors the sense of familiar betrayal. Bythewood demonstrates the human need of an individual to have a connection beyond memory, this is conveyed through Lily speaking to her mother in heaven, "bet my hair must have annoyed you when it went off in 11 different directions." The use of speaking to her mother through her religion demonstrate her purity and innocence. T-Ray, Lily's father betrays her through lies, "god damn woman didn't give a shit about you".

“Meow, meow, meow…,” is the sound you hear when you turn on the television and at the bottom of the screen in subtitles translated into English so we humans can understand is how much the cats love Meow Mix. At first the commercial has a catchy tune and you just want to burst out in song, at least some may want too, but that one commercial must be played at least a million times a day; it can become quite a nuisance if seen that much.

B1 then puts the ball on the table and walks away still holding the bat. He walks around the room, on his tip toes, and looks around. He crouches down and puts the bat on the floor.
