These fearful emotions he used to protect himself were much like the emotions he felt which caused to be overprotective of his son.
A true cowboy will be the one that stays to himself, he will be loyal to the ones he loves and cares about such as friends, family, and most of all his wife. He will be the guy who looks rough around the edges because he is a hard working individual, you can tell this by the clothes he wears. His cowboy hat will be old and dirty but has seen many miles, his shirt and jeans will be covered in cow crap and slobber from that sick calf he just bottle fed. His boots have been many miles either walked in or resting in the stirrups in his saddle. His spurs will be rusted and beat up but still clink with every step he takes.
Nonetheless, many people have negative childhood experiences and torturing and killing people does not even cross their minds. But the mere difference usually is that serial killers usually have a fatal combination of psychological dysfunctions and negative experiences at a young age. Another psychological installment into their behavior is the possibility of their fantasy world. Fantasies play a major role in their lives and the kill itself is an act of the fantasy. It tends to turn into a vicious cycle of fantasies that need to be acted out because their fantasies can never measure up to reality since reality is always disappointing to

He would push her hard and she would go flying.
This leads the reader to believe that the two probably had a strained relationship much of the time due to the alcoholism his father struggles with. But even though this is a problem the small child still “hung on like death: Such waltzing was not easy” (Roethke 501).

Brainwashing is the process by which a person is put through a prolonged process in order to change their thoughts pattern and behavior. One common result of this is to make them forget about their conscience and just focus on killing. According to "Child Soldiers" an article written by Mike Wessells," "Weakened psychologically and fearful of their commanders, children can become obedient killers, willing to take on the most dangerous and horrifying assignments"(2).
