    By the time, this scene happens there are numerous concepts that have already unfolded in the plot, to show that drilling is changing Daniel. He has taken up a child sidekick H.W. that he calls his son. He also states that he is “the face” implying that people will sympathize with a single father. However, there is a bond between Daniel and H.W. that is deeper than what is on the surface. Daniel claims to use the boy as a tool, but he cares for his so-called son. In the scene, his workers are putting the oilrig together. Daniel rushed them back to work after losing a comrade to an accident. To Daniel, no matter what happens, the show must continue. While drilling into the ground, it erupts. Shooting first out the air and then oil. H.W. happens to be on a ledge a few feet off the ground at the rig that day. The pressure for the eruption knocks H.W. off the ledge. Daniel rushes to his aid pick the boy up and carries him to safety. In the explosion, H.W. sustains minor scrapes and scratches but he loses his hearing. The scene right after that shows Daniel looking at the rig shooting out flames and he is laughing and smiling.

Nevertheless, his self-proclaimed son injured himself badly, and in the next scene Daniel is smiling about how much money the rig is going to generate. This also shows that this is an attempt by the natural world to stop what is going on. The natural world is obviously trying to take a stand in that scene. The natural world launched a forceful act that injured his son. However, this does not stop the show; Daniel builds a new rig, in his pursuit to be…
