climb back to my feet and jog back to my brother. Cayleb begs from me to leave him, but I refuse. Our parents died when we were only eleven years old, and I will not lose another piece of my family. Miles turns to the side moaning and places his other hand on the beam. I reach him and attempt to help him lift it, to no prevail. I jerk my head back to Uriah, Mace, and Cayleb only to find that only Uriah is still there. “Please help.” I plead to him, staring into his eyes. Uriah sighs and runs…

Hands are a part of the body that a large number of both contemporary and older literary works use to represent an overarching theme, each in a slightly different way. The two hands can represent balance between good and evil, authority and power, or a plethora of other themes.
