He is disgusted with the way the gentlefolks are handing themselves around nature, and the narrator wants the reader to picture in their mind the image he is seeing to illustrate his disdain for the gentlefolk in a different manner.

Kyle stands in the middle of the stage and does another show-and-tell type speech on the play. Whilst he is standing in the middle of the stage, he incorporates direct address and space as he stands by himself in front of the audience. There are no sounds, the light is only on Kyle and this mood is made so that the audience concentrates on his story as it is an important information on the play. Like the previous speech, he begins with a very lovely story about how he founds and loves a cat. However, when he starts to talk about when his father found the cat, the story takes a dark turn and tension builds. Kyle’s voice becomes faster, louder and shaky to show the emotions which he feels. The actress which plays Jessie morphs into the cat at this point by using the conventions of multiple roles to assist in telling the story. This story is very important in the play as the plastic bag which his father used to kill his cat becomes a major symbol throughout the play in various types of scenes. Whenever he feels threatened, upset or sad, he pulls out the bag and put it around his head and neck. Thus, this shows the audience his emotions and let them link the symbolism with the scene without having to physically talk. This shows that Kyle’s life is affected by his violent father and

Kyle had witnessed it all before, the terror in a woman's eyes, the squeals and flinches, the shocked expression as blood filled her vision and dripped from the incicisions he'd cut into her flesh. Lauren's screams were caused partly by agony, but the physical pain she endured wasn't great as those who'd only seen death as it was glamourised by Hollywood would expect.
