I Hunt Killers By Billy Dent Quotes

Billy is shown to be worry free at the beginning after he finds out that he accidently stole the can of tuna. Billy was not worried about law enforcement because it was such a minor item. This shows that he is very confident in himself and isn’t really worried about what could happen. When they are arrested, the first person he calls is his mom which makes the viewer think that Italians are mommas boys. Though this could be true in Billy’s case, this is not a hundred percent fact. With this in mind, he could have picked a public defender but he chose to pick a family member to represent him and his friend. This ties into the stereotype that Italians are family based and that family is of major importance as well as wanting to have ties with their own community. He loses faith in his cousins ability to represent them but in the end, he still sticks with family even if that means he could be put in prison. Stan is Billy’s friend that is getting tried for helping out with the supposed murder. He is seen dressed in a leather jacket and having slicked hair which could represent a gangster like

“Here’s the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand.”(V, i, 43-44). There is nothing I can do make things right. To make things go back to normal and most of all to make my husband to go back to his old self. This blood I can see lingering on my hands proves how guilty I am of what I did. I can’t think straight. One mistake of power hungry led me to a downward spiral into hallucination. I am losing my mind aren’t I? This blood I am seeing right now is a reminder of what I did.

Moreover, Davis presents character types of those who accept white authority wanting to lead a peaceful life and those who rage against it. Billy with loyalties to both the new and the old worlds shows why he is so accepting. This is to lessen the extent of the suffering that was caused at the hand of the ‘wetjalas’ when they ‘finished’ his ‘mob’. He remains loyal to ‘Mitjer Neal’ by obeying his orders to pursue Mary and Joe despite the fact that he is treated unequally of which is shown when Mr Neal ‘throws a stick of tobacco on the floor’ and Billy picks it up. Contrary to Billy is Jimmy. Jimmy rages

Bonney. Not even exiting his teenage years, legend say he had killed a dozen men; he roamed then southwestern ranges killing, robbing and having sexual relations with Mexican maidens who would later sing about their bandit King Billy. At the age of twelve he gained huge reputation by committing his first murder on a man for making a remark about his mother, and it exceeded from there on. In mythology Billy was a Hermes, who chose the dark side of his destiny rather than the boring life that it could of led to. With a mortal taking sympathy of gods, extreme transformations will occur and take place. Later on, Billy was arrested for killing a sheriff, where he later escaped by taking the lives of two security guards. In 1881, the reality and mythical stories that were told were later sold on the streets of the city where he was born which was called The True Life of Billy the Kid, which sky-rocketed William’s

For example when Dale wants to meet at midnight (which they all do for some reason) he manipulates Heather and threatens her to make her lie about who raped her when he says, “Later after we went to Bob’s barn, what you did to Heather.”Dale said. I did tell her,” Heather said. Her voice sounded funny, like she wasn't herself now“. That last quote just goes to show how much of a poor influence Dale was and how manipulated children to lie for him. After that dale then threatens children with his rifle and is even condescending to them when he says; “You ain’t gonna get away with this,” Billy said! “With what?” Dale said. “Nobody seems to know just what it it we’re talking about. Just what is this?” (269). After that he then threatens children to cover up for his own mistakes instead of taking responsibility for his own mistakes. Additionally to dig his grave a little deeper he then threatens everyone involved and takes no responsibility for his

With this description, Vonnegut vastly distances Billy from the ideal, strong and mighty image of a soldier, yet Billy is a soldier nonetheless. Not only is this weak and ungracious character fighting and representing the honour of his country but also he is one of the few soldiers who survive the war; he outlives many of the other soldiers that could be considered better suited for war. Furthermore, Vonnegut compares Billy to a filthy flamingo, highlighting the distance that exists between society's soldier ideal, graceful and admirable, and the soldiers' reality, harsh and rampageous. In short, Billy is so far from what is expected that he “shouldn't even be in the Army” (51). However, Billy is not the only soldier in this ludicrous predicament. Vonnegut describes the entire Army as chaotic, confused and ludicrous:

Billy Budd is responsible for his own death. There are times when taking someone’s life is necessary such as a time of war, but not in a heating argument. Captain Vere, said it best that the crime is what they were worried about, not the case between right and wrong. The crime was murder. Billy was a hard worker who would do his best to help anyone out. However, Billy was not judged on the type of man he was he was judged by the action that had taken place.

After Jasper allows the father of one of Billy’s victims, Jeff Fulton, into his home, the point of view switches, “The Impressionist took in the foyer. He’d been in here before, but he’d been in a hurry. Now he could truly take it in. The house where Billy Dent had grown up” (Lyga 330).

He saw people die in front of him face to face and was traumatized by the very aspect of war. Billy tries hard to rid himself of the event, but he learns to accept it and knows that death is inevitable. Therefore, he begins to slowly manage his experience in Dresden. He figures out how to acknowledge war, and every last bit of its savageries, as an unavoidable piece of life; in spite of the fact that it doesn't make it any more charming or sensible, his new viewpoint helps Billy to adapt. He likewise appears to understand demise, for when he time travels into the future and sees his own death, he acknowledges it with smooth abdication.

Billy experiences intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and emotional distress after the event occurred which we see throughout the events of the film.

Nothing about Billy is left out, the decisions Billy makes throughout the book make him seem like a wonderful person. He doesn’t describe much of Billy’s

Billy had gotten his revenge, but he wanted to get his point across. That is why he and Stu terrorized the town on the one-year anniversary. Ghostface, Billy in this case, definitely has the villainous characteristic of being wounded and wanting revenge for

In addition, within the soliloquy, Billy becomes more dynamic though his motivations. Billy doesn’t like being the stereotype, for he wishes more for his unborn child than to be a “bum” like him. In fact, the motivation behind the robbery is so that his child may have a better life, and the “best that money can buy.” Being poor erks Billy, but he accepts it as he said “money think I’m dead.” However, when it comes to his child, Billy wants, he or she to have a better life since he understands the difficulties of living without the luxuries and status that come with wealth. Moreover, the motivation behind the robbery isn’t for personal wealth, but prosperity for his child. If he wanted personal wealth he could have taken Mullin’s offer or agree to the robbery with Jigger when the offer was first made. But no, it is only after he knows Julie is pregnant that he accepts. Rodgers and Hammerstein craft his soliloquy with expert care in order to make the despicable Bill, a round anti protagonist that the audience can support and find

The next element I will discuss is dialogue. Dialogue is an essential cinematic technique to determine what kind of person the characters are portraying. Billy’s cousin Sean referred to Costello as God. Being compared to God an almighty omnipotent entity lets us know that Costello is an influential person in the neighborhood. Costello is a person who always wanted to be an authoritative person, the first words we hear from him “I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product….of me.” From that we can get the sense that Costello wanted to be in control of things. Costello’s desire to be the kingpin of Boston makes him go to extreme measures. Colin and Costello’s relationship is a close one. Costello acts as a father figure for Colin. When Colin talks to Costello when other detectives are around he even refers to him as dad. Colin’s character is someone who wants to be wealthy and powerful like Costello. At one point in the film he even says he could be Costello. Billy on the other hand is not like these characters. Billy just wants to be an honest police officer and do his job. Billy’s background is further revealed by Officer Dignam (Mark Wahlberg). Billy has had a troubled past his father’s side of the family is poor and connected with Costello’s

Billy had a wingspan of 20 ft. he had poison in his fangs, which were as long as swords, he also could breathe fire in dire situations plus unbeknownst to the general population could shoot spikes off of his tail, much like a manticore, though not related to any manticores in particular.
