The author uses the lax nature of the snake to make its death seem uncalled for, thus, instilling feelings of sympathy in the reader for the snake. When the snake is introduced, it notices the man but does not make a move to attack him.
The author’s diction heightens the intensity and power the snake brings as it also aids in describing the inner thoughts of the protagonist. When the main character saw that the snake was “waiting for him”, he “stopped short” and the snake continued to “[hold] his ground”. The snake created anticipation as he completed these actions, therefore causing the man to feel curious and uneasy. Like a “live wire” the snake “drew his head back,” preparing to strike, this action seemed effortless and almost as if it was a “mechanical reflex”. The reptile is seen as being extremely lethal due to its quick and natural reflexes. Snakes similar to this one are born with the same instinct as their hominid adversaries; to survive. The diction in “The Rattler” effects the tone that is understood by the audience. Detail is another key factor when trying to convey the deeper meaning within the narrative.
The author portrays the snake as calm and intuitive with an approving tone to get the acceptance of the reader. When the man finds the snake, it was waiting to see the man’s “intentions” in “calm watchfulness” . It did not even start “rattling yet”. The snake wanted to see what the man would do. It did not want to attack first without knowing whether the man was going to.

‘Not many people chose snakes. Especially this type.’ Trixie nodded not really listening to his rambling, she was more interested in how the swiftly and calmly the snake moved. Placing a snake in a black travel tank, magic had been used to make the inside bigger than the outside appearance. Trixie followed the man and her aunt towards the front counter. ‘The tank can be changed with these spells.’ He said handing her a piece of parchment, ‘this snake breed is venomous however his venom has magically been removed but take this potion which will reverse the effects.’ Trixie nodded, hoping that she could leave the shop soon, she placed both the tonic and instructions in her bag that her Aunt had given her, it had been enlarged on the inside much like the snake tank.

In conclusion after reviewing the arguments on both sides, there is no way one can believe O.J. Simpson is innocent and did not kill Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. As Vincent Bugliosi states, “When a person is innocent of a crime, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, chances are there is not going to be anything whatsoever pointing toward his guilt ... Not only does the physical, scientific evidence in this case conclusively prove this defendant's guilt, but virtually everything he said and did points irresistibly to his guilt“ (279). In the infamous Bronco chase, O.J. was to turn himself in by 10 a.m. on June 17, 1994 and never showed up. Police drove over to Simpson’s home sometime around 1 p.m. and he was nowhere to be found.
