Also Rauwerda representation of Joe is very effective in the article. According to Rauwerda “Joe also beats Simon whenever Simon makes him feel disempowered, impotent or emasculated” (29), which is true. Simon is a unique person. He is somewhat on the same level as Kerewin because their minds seem to be so complex. When Joe start to see the potential in Simon, does something wrong or simply just blames him for his problems, Joe beats him. It is clear that Rauwerda is trying to get you to feel some type emotion about Joe and Simon. She wants us to feel anger towards Joe because he placing all of the blame for everything that has been done on Simon. It also goes back to post colonialism because Rauwerda also touches on whites having power over

The treatment of blacks is frightening. The white society really believes that blacks deserve no better. In his article “Imagery in the ‘Battle Royal’ Chapter of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man,” Norman German states, “the animal imagery graphically highlights Ellison’s theme that when one sex or race treats another as an object or animal, both become dehumanized or bestial” (1). Ellison stated, “Much of the rhetorical and political energy of white society went toward proving to itself that we were not human” (German 2). The white men in “Battle Royal” not only treat the young black men as animals, or objects, but also the stripper. Therefore, they become animals themselves.
Another example of lacking racial connections is openly discussed in chapter twelve during the Davidson versus Annadel baseball game.

Segregation had had many effects on the black nation, to the point that it started building up ones character, “See the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness towards white people”, King shows readers that segregation is even affecting little children, that it is starting to build up a young girls character and is contributing to the child developing hatred “bitterness” towards the white Americans. King makes readers imagine a black cloud settling in a young girls brain mentally, when instead she should have an image of a colorful blue sky with a rainbow, isn’t that suppose to be part of a 6 year-old’s imagination? King gives readers an image of destruction civil disobedience had created in the black community, especially in the young innocent little children.
As he discussed in his reading entitled On Suffering and Structural Violence: A View from Below, he noted that situational violence aids the causes for risk in suffering claims. Farmer uses he example of Haiti in his reading because we know that Haiti is the poorest county in the world, and yet it progressively becomes worsen. He tries to uncover the meaning of their suffering by referring the term “shopping while black”. However, we fail to see that there are people who live on mother Earth who suffer everyday regardless of where they live. Today, we can see numerous of people standing on the sidewalk begging for money we do not want to answer their cries because they are adult as American we see these individuals as weak. Then again, compare this to the commercials of real children in their countries struggling to feed not just themselves but their siblings. We find the means to answer these children cries because of their heart felt stories, the fact they are children, but what seals the deal is the zoom in on those children bug infected
Jack, one of the lead characters in the novel, alludes to the biblical figure Judas for his betrayal to the good of the people brought forth by Jesus. Jack is the reason Simon is killed, for he betrayed Ralph’s rules and brought forth the evil within the children’s minds. Jack refuses Ralph’s ideas and regulations in trade for fun and hunting. This shows his betrayal to the good of man and his want to bring evil forth to the island.

Because of these changes in emotion and attitude that have occurred in both Joe and Violet, Joe feels that he needs to find a way to re-sensitize himself to emotion: As he describes to Malvonne in the apartment, it is the quiet that he cannot take with Violet, he is “just hoping for a lady friend. Somebody to talk to” (49, 46). Joe needs to express himself to someone, but Violet is not letting Joe do that. The narrator describes Joe’s lover as being “Joe’s personal sweet—like candy” (120). Candy, though, as Joe describes in a totally separate incident, “is something you lick, suck on, and then swallow and it’s gone” (122). By providing the image of Dorcas as the temporary candy, Morrison shows how the relationship is not what Joe believes it to be. Yet, Joe wants to convince himself that his affair with Dorcas is more than the transient taste of a peppermint stick, and as he describes in his speech to himself, “This was something else. More like blue water and white flowers and sugar in the air” (122). Joe wants to have a deep relationship with Dorcas—a relationship where he can talk with her and share his feelings, but it is just his mind fooling him into this belief that the relationship is built around a deep bond.
