Moore agrees that the school system is suppressive when he says, “As soon as I entered high school-the public school system…I was walking the halls of a two-thousand-plus –inmate holding pen” (134). Moore felt trapped and earlier revealed that he dropped out of school sophomore year because he disliked school from first grade.

Our narrator’s youth is confirmed again when he claims that he “always felt like crying [because] It wasn't fair” (line 22) the berries where rotting.

Whatever made me think that this Tswana rascal could hunt!’.”[2] The !Kung do such thing because they do not want any arrogance to appear in their society: "Yes, when a young man kills much meat he comes to think of himself of the chief or a big man, and he thinks of the rest of us as his servants or inferiors.
