The imagery in this story was quite crazy to imagine, because the way the twins were born was just unimaginable one of the boys was birthed out of the moms armpit. Although the imagery was very creative, and just kind of astonishing. Another imagery was when one of the brothers throw the grandmother over the cliff creating the ocean, and the fish, just imagine that. The setting of the story was quite a site to be honest, the beginning of the story was taken place on a turtle's back that was where the boys mom was born and then came them.

(Black, 2015, Slide 17) I also think a domestic violence history should be a factor in child custody and visitation because the right measures and precautions needs to be set in place.…
