As he is walking around the house he suddenly runs into the snake and it bites him. Sykes screams out for Delia in so much pain. She hears the cries and debates on going in to help him but she was frozen in fear. Delia stays away, leaving him in pain. She slowly approaches him as he is on his hands and knees.
This begins to frighten her so bad that her knees get weak; she does not know where to begin to look for the snake. Walking to her clothes, she hears the snake in her basket. Immediately she takes the lamp with the last match in it and runs to the kitchen in straight fear of the snake. After running, she finds out that the match blue out and she got frustrated because Sykes took the rest of the matches. Now the whole house is dark.
When Ama realizes what she has done when she kills the panther, she feels much remorse but there is one thing that she would never be able to tell - that the panther was actually very ill. She tells Omishto that she must not tell anyone about the panther because at first she is unsure what to think about what she has done. Ama trusts her not to tell anyone and Omishto agrees, "And again she makes me promise not to say what the cat looked like, that it was sick and starving" (74). In western culture, stating this simple fact would have got her out of any trouble she would be in, yet she doesn't say anything because she knows it would crush the Taiga people's hearts to know that their symbol of strength was slowly dying. In western culture, it would be pressured to tell the truth no matter what, and they are now pressuring indigenous people to do the same, tearing apart their
She starts to have some feelings to Jim since he killed that snake. “She liked me better from that time on, and she never took a supercilious air with me again.” (67). Being with the hired girls also changed her in some ways. “At the first call of the music, she became irresponsible.” (177). In the end, she was abandoned by a local boy but she already had a child.
He told jim that he wasn't scared of him, and that he didn't have a problem telling everyone where jim was hiding. Jim pleaded with Huck saying that he had not hurt a soul, he explained to Huck how he overheard Miss Watson talking about selling him to a slave trader and Huck changed his mind. On the island Huck goes back to his old ways and and plays pranks on Jim , he puts a snake on jim while he sleeps. It backfires on Huck though because the snake ends up biting jim. Jim and huck make a plan just incase someone try’s to come and find them.
“Naw you won’t,” she panted,” that ole-snaggle-toothed…foot foremost.” This was when Delia first showed her defensive and independent side of her. Sykes was shocked by her standing up to him so he just left. “It cowed him and he did not strike her as he usually did.” From this point it was clear that he’s physically abusive towards her and her rebellion was shocking. “Sykes, what you throw…Ah is of snakes,” this shows one of Delia’s fears. Sykes threw a
As a guy, myself, this could have been “heaven” but clearly as a young male with values and morals it was more sad than pleasing to see these girls, that could have possibly been my own classmates, crave such attention with these sexual moves. The families present at the river could not believe the event. Many were infuriated and left the river afraid there children would see these females “gone wild.” The problem that seems to be causing the issue amongst these girls and women is that they’re “mistaking sexual power for real power” according to the author of Female Chauvinist Pigs (Jesella). What is even worse is the fact that they believe “that mimicking the sexuality of strippers, Playmates, and porn stars -- women who are paid to simulate real women's sexuality -- is power in the first place” (Jesella). It is quite disturbing that we see lucid behavior as normal; however, that doesn’t mean every girl is participating.
like the phone you weren't born scared of the hospital it just came down to experiences like being scared of animals they weren't scared of dogs but they may have been bitten by one which has made them scared. it may not have been a case of you experiencing the situation that has made you scared but could be that you witnessed it; if your mum screams at a spider at a young age you may associate the spider with loud noise and screaming and therefore become
Therefore, the snake can represent Delia’s protector, sin, death, or devil but it most certainly is a mirrored reflection of Sykes. Sykes routinely shows his lack of respect for Delia. One morning Delia, sorting laundry and wondering where Sykes has gone with her horse, becomes paralyzed by fear when suddenly something “long, round, limp, and black falls upon her shoulders and slithers to the floor beside her.” Again Delia is reminded of what a malicious man Sykes can be. He uses a bullwhip to scare her; she believes it is a snake. Delia
Actually, he says, if she has to marry, Ophelia should marry a fool, as wise men know that women only make men into "monsters", even while knowing this Ophelia kept on loving Hamlet even though Hamlet would not respect her. In act 3 scene 1, Hamlet and Ophelia are having a conversation but Hamlet is just disrespecting her in front of everyone and she doesn’t say anything but stays quiet the whole time. Ophelia’s death was an unfortunate accident. She was at best dimly aware that she was drowning – ironically a solution to her
