His limbs folded in and his neck was stiff Being 6’4 in a police car was the farthest thing from comfortable. His mind became assaulted with an array of thoughts as he took a shy glance out the window and began to wonder if they were going to be his last look outside. The sound of Sgt.

    In both the passage of Boy's Life and "Emancipation: A Life Fable," I noticed some interesting events.

Another strength lies in Temple’s ability to use very vivid imagery in descriptions of places.…
