Sykes Jones: an abusive cheating husband. Sykes goes around all day with a woman of the name Bertha and comes home to a wife that has been working all day. Sykes believes he is entitled to do whatever he wants because he can overpower his wife.]]> 2021-09-21 19:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758258293 jm42315 https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758280025 The details given such as the small village and the fact that there is a snake makes it seem like its set in the south. The characters seem a little illiterate and Delia has almost no say in anything making the time period somewhere around the early 1900s.]]> 2021-09-21 19:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758280025 jm42315 https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758292720 The narrator of the text is in third person omniscient because it talks about the characters from a distance then goes into detail through dialogue never sticking to just one character but going back and forth.]]> 2021-09-21 19:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758292720 jm42315 https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758349747 Because it is in third person the reader gets to know all the events but misses out on the inner dialogue only because this is a short story and not a novel. If this were a longer story there would be more insight especially on Bertha. ]]> 2021-09-21 20:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758349747 jm42315 https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758372408 The setting, somewhere in the south during the early 1900s, helps the reader visualize how there is most likely dirt roads with the main occupation being agriculture.  The adults are not well educated as they do not say complete words for example Delia says “Syke, Ah wants you tuh take dat snake ‘way fum heah". When she really means "Syke, I want you to take that snake away from here".]]> 2021-09-21 20:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1758372408 jm42315 https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1759076753 From starting with the descriptive scene of Sykes having the bullwhip out on Delia it shows right away that it isn't a healthy relationship.  It then develops into the problem being acknowledged then finally with Sykes being killed by a snake.  All of Sykes wrongdoings eventually catch up to him and Delia is freed from her toxic relationship.]]> 2021-09-22 05:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jm42315/vuzrbzd3xuwc69d6/wish/1759076753
