The hand is personified in the story; “The hand, disturbed by a bad dream, appeared to respond to this startling discovery, this disgust. It regroups its forces, open wide, and splayed its tendons, lumps, and red fur like battle dress, then slowly drawing itself in again, grabbed a fistful of the sheet, dug into it with its curved fingers, and squeezed, squeezed with the methodical pleasure of a strangler.” From this description, the reader can visualize the violent nature that the hand has. In the quote, the hand is described as using its forces, having red fur that resembles battle dress, and digging into sheets. In addition, at the very end of the section the comparison of the hand squeezing the sheets to “the methodical pleasure of a strangler” is a very violent description and gives the reader a aggressive visual of the movements. Not only by the description of the hand’s visual appearance but also by the description of each aggressive fear evoking movement seem to cause the wife to fear the hand. (relates to feeling about

Seeing his chance, he is firmly set on this boys guilt, seeing his own son's guilt in the accused. But it does not stop there.

Personification- “Youth and social approval allied themselves with me and we trammeled memories of slights and insults” (17). This emphasizes that with youth and social approval as her ‘friends’, she left behind her memories of slights and insults.

The movie “Juice,” is a story of four male teenage friends from Harlem. They’re causing trouble around the neighborhood and running away from their responsibilities to gain respect; or what some may call “the juice.” Earlier in the film, a group of males confronted them on the street with a gun. Ever since, the antagonist Bishop, Tupac Shakur, has the mentality of, “Do you respect me, or do you respect my gun?” The answer is: “You don’t have that gun, there’s no way we’re having this conversation.” Ultimately, Bishop obtained a gun and wanted to get the juice by holding up the local corner store. On the other hand, the protagonist Q, Omar Epps, is an aspiring DJ who wants to make it out of his circumstances. He didn 't want anything to do with the stick up and focused on a DJ contest at a local club. However, Bishop took on the revenge, eat or be eaten mentality, and pestered them into coming along.

Forced into a ring, the narrator, with a bunch of his classmates, were blindfolded for the boxing match. Before the match had begun, the blonde, naked woman, with an American flag painted on her stomach, stood in front of the men (Best Custom Writing). Escorted into the ring, multiple men surrounded the woman, blinded by her appearance. As the women approaches, the narrator expresses, “I felt a desire to sit upon her as my eyes brushed slowly over her body. Her breasts were firm and round as the domes of East Indian temples…” (Ellison 19). Along with the other men, the narrator objectified the woman and viewed her only as a toy rather than an individual. Lost in her appearance, the narrator did not care about who the woman was nor what she would say. All of the things the narrator wanted to do to the woman ran through his mind, “to feel the soft thighs, to caress her and destroy her…”(Ellison 19). At this point, the narrator only considered women as toys for his sexual desires, rather than to help her from being forced into the center of a ring naked. Just as the other men did not, the narrator did not care for her feelings or embarrassment. The narrator made no attempt to stop and help her even though the woman was being

     The lines, "When he does get through, / next week, it will all sound / exaggerated" (9-11) reveal the hopelessness of the man’s situation. By the time the woman sobers up enough for him to speak intelligently with her, the relevance of the things he wants to say will have diminished with the passing of time. It is like with all things in life—what seems desperately important and upsetting to us today may seem insignificant and laughable to us tomorrow. The man will probably still feel deeply about the larger effects that her actions are having—on her, on him, and on others. The specific indiscretions or injuries that he mentions, though, will probably sound ridiculous to her, and may even sound trifling to the man himself. His comments would have had much more impact if given in context, but they could not be because she was too inebriated to communicate with. Even though the man knows that she will not understand the importance of what he has to say, he feels compelled to try anyway. He knows that she will offer an insincere apology simply to appease him. She will feel only as if she

No, statement is not true in its entirety. A battery requires a harmful/offensive contact with the person of the other directly or indirectly. There was no direct or indirect contact with Mrs. Hill. This we can find in the facts of the case, he intended to touch her, but did not. That is why this is an assault.

characters in the play, he is trying to use her as a way of making

Upon his arrival to the fight he realizes that a naked female is present in the boxing ring and he has no control over his body’s response to viewing her. His first battle seems to be in his mind regarding feelings toward this lady. He is frustrated with her beautiful appearance that causes him to be visually aroused and hates her being there. At the same time he can tell she is frightened and wants to save her from the groping, inebriated men. Once the lady is gone the fighters are blindfolded and the narrator is about to encounter a physical battle that he was not expecting. Once his vision is obstructed the name calling begins. He hears someone yell, “I want to get at that ginger-colored nigger. Tear him limb from limb” (Ellison 200). He wonders if he is the only one blindfolded. The fighting starts and the narrator is hit so hard in the head that blood flows into his mouth. Somehow he is able to move the blindfold so he can visualize what is going on. He is now able to avoid some of the blows but still fighting so he does not bring attention to

Joe is challenged rather than submitted to. Understanding this reasoning may give one a better understanding into Mrs. Joe. One may infer that Mrs. Joe did not blame herself for the mistreatment of her brother and husband but felt that they brought it on themselves (Tomes 334). Mrs. Joe expressed no regret or guilt after being abusive to Joe and Pip, as most abusers did not.
