Days and nights would pass by with Barbara unable to spot any difference in between. The routine had been formed; she’d wake up, go to work, visit the elderly house, return home to sleep. Repeat. Barbara at the age of 30 was worn out and exhausted. Her mother’s death had scarred her deeply, her children hated her and her husband had left her for some woman he had found at some bar.…

Several times in this essay the reader sees Derricotte’s father take on the role of God. For example, Derricotte writes, “He was the ruler of my body. I had to learn that. He had to be deep in me, deeper than instinct, like the commander of a submarine during times of war” (44). Derricotte’s father had beaten Derricotte down, both physically and mentally, to the point at which she was persuaded that he was an all-powerful being. He gave her only one option, that he was all knowing, and what he said goes. Thus, Derricotte was convinced that her father was right and she had to do whatever he said.…

As mentioned earlier, Cereno acts as a reflection of Delano in the simplest terms. They both hold commander positions aboard their ships and Delano capitalizes on this. As he subconsciously ignores his self and the actions that he must take as his own entity, Delano only notices the most obvious similarities between himself and Cereno. It is when he is forced to realize his own standing aboard the San Dominick and the serendipitous way that he is able to rescue Cereno, that Delano finally realizes his purpose in this situation and thus, his self. Jeannine Marie DeLombard suggests that “neither rebellion nor escape automatically [confer] independence,” and that is true in the case of Delano (36). He does not immediately realize himself as individual at Cereno’s reaction to him leaving or Babo’s jumping after him; it is only when he sees the “dagger in [Babo’s] hand” that Delano realizes that he is individual. In these actions, Delano reaches a full circle of self-actualization. He has emerged from his comfort aboard the Bachelor’s Delight and has faced the peculiar deck of the San Dominick. Delano has seen himself in Benito Cereno and envied the relationship between the captain and his slave. Yet it is not until he see the dagger set to kill that Delano realizes what he is meant to do while aboard the ship and, in this realization, he realizes that he is not just another…

Back at the trailer it’s been a river of tears.…

In the second grade, I had a crippling fear of my teacher, who loved to play, “Let's pick on all the students who aren’t raising their hands.” In my imagination, school was where carnivorous teachers scanned the classroom, looking to slaughter the most helpless creatures. And it seemed like this one had clear intentions of mounting my prized head on the wall. This meant that I suffered from a chronic case of rapid heartbeat, timid eye contact, and tense palms that left imprints of red crescent moons on my thighs.…
