Cofer later creates more imagery when describing the man who “sang a ditty to the tune of “La Bamba” and “stepped directly into [her] path” (373). Cofer’s sensory imagery conjures a feeling of being cornered and caged, unpleasant by anyone’s standards. The images highlight the persecution that is part of Cofer’s life, making them more relatable and once again inspiring empathy for the Latina woman’s plight.

But at that instant, Ralph realizes his leadership lacks contron as he "...watched them envious and resentful" (Golding, 79). He felt the effects of defeat as the boys were devouring the pig; all attention was on Jack who had finally found the admiration he yearned for.
