Barba Bad Ending

The part in which he talks about the trading of materials for slaves is believable because the King would require much goods and money for the economy. The part about treating the slaves in a proper war seems a little unbelievable because when compared to Equiano’s narrative, it seems like Barbot makes everything

The soft words were enough to harden Booker’s cock, and grabbing Tom by the hand, he pulled him into the bedroom. He watched with growing arousal as Tom removed his boxers and lay on the bed. As he quickly undressed, he could feel two dark, soulful eyes watching his every move, and a shiver of excitement brought goose bumps to his flesh. However, he knew he needed to be patient and let Tom set the pace. The last thing he wanted to do was frighten him by coming on too strong.

Dragging himself to a sitting position he drags his hands over his face and hair. Pushing himself to his feet he stumbles, making his way to the table. He reads the note, leaving it where it lays as he pulls a bottle out of his pack and staggers back to his bed.

He then bends his head and kisses her. Next, he gets out of bed and says,

“Oh my, Jesus!”, Adoniram yawns, slowly sitting up from his grand luxury bed, lifting his body up from his nightly stupor, Adoniram looks to the side of his large bed as he realizes

He reflects by saying, “I learned to be an animal… fanatically aggressive and ruthlessly competitive (84). This shows how far the patriarchal society took Sabo and how absurd the expectations he faced

Cloud sits in his grandparent's living room, bored out of his mind. In comes his sister, Crystal, and plops down next to him. "Bubby, play with me!" She whines. He smiles at her sweetly. She is quite a bit younger than him; ten years, in fact. She is seven and not past her years of an over-active imagination. He, however, is seventeen and just as imaginative, if not more, than his little sister. He doesn't mind it too much; viewing the world as inspirational and bonding with his much younger sister. In his opinion, the only bad thing is how out of place he is at school. They just don't understand.

As I am about to get up, a big hand grabs me and pulls me close and Snuggles into me. I shift a bit ,but Carson still sounds asleep.

something funny he said earlier. His phone rings, and he glances at it. “Go get ready for bed,”

Delano's first description of Babo compares him to a "shepherd's dog." (p. 41) Not only did Delano compare him to something that was not human, but the assertion that Babo was a "shepherd's dog" is important to understanding Delano's obsession with hierarchy and possession. Delano must understand everything in terms of its relationships and its place in his hierarchy. Delano describes the San Dominick as "a Spanish merchantman of the first class, carrying Negro slaves, amongst other valuable freight." His first reaction to the fact that there were blacks on the San Dominick was to classify the blacks as "valuable freight." He describes the black mothers as "Unsophisticated as leopardesses; loving as doves.." (p. 63) After Captain Delano discovers that the blacks have mutinied, they are no longer dogs but wolves: "Exhausted, the blacks now fought in despair.

The most notable clue was on the relationship between Cereno and Babo, which was not of a master and his slave; but was of a soldier and his prisoner. Delano did not suspect the weird relationship between the two but thought of it as an affectionate relationship. " Captain Delano could not but bethink him of the beauty of that relationship" (45). Delano was not only pleased by Babo's actions towards Cereno; but he also offered to purchase him and make him his servant. "I should like to have your man here myself what will you take for him?"

Many people have different opinions on Barabbas, and there are many facts that can back up their opinions on Barabbas. Barabbas was a man that was about thirty, powerfully built, with a reddish beard and black hair. He was a criminal, that was on trial but released while Jesus was on trial and could have been released. Barabbas watched Jesus die on the cross from a distance. I believe that Barabbas did die a man of faith, and I have information to prove it.

In this scenario, the African American slave Babo is imitating the idea that he believes Captain Delano would have of a pleasant and obedient slave. There are many instances in the initial scenes on Benito Cereno’s ship where anyone’s life could be put in danger, despite that; anyone’s life could also be preserved. The lives of the other slaves on the ship were in peril; they were not able to eat or drink for many days; it was quite possible for Babo to simply kill Delano upon him first entering the ship, although he would have then had to deal with the rest of his crewmen. It was more productive for Babo to act the part of a gentle and concerned slave in order to gain Deleno’s trust as well as his supplies, and hopefully later, his ship. Trust is blinding, as we can see because Babo plays his part of a slave so well, rather than the calculating and meticulous mind that he is, Delano is unsure whether he should abandon his preconceived notions about the ship being under Cereno’s authority, despite him being “ill”, or trust his gut instinct telling him something is amiss.

iIT HAD BECOME his habit, during their weeks of isolation, that upon rising he immediately went and checked on Lorelei. He would knock gently on her door, enter without waiting for her re-ply, and light the fire in the fireplace before opening the drapes. She would raise herself up on her el-bows, smile warmly at him and wait for him to help her with her morning privy.

Babo uses Delano’s ignorance to his advantage to deliberately confuse him more, “and turning, saw the negro, his hand to his check. Advancing, Captain Delano perceived that his check was bleeding” (Melville 77). Babo intentionally causes harm to himself to enforce the illusion Delano is under. When Babo proclaims to Delano, “and for the first tie in so many a day,” the irony is reinforced again. This is not the first time that Cereno has been hurt by Babo, and the scene that Delano is viewing is not the scene that is actually taking place.
