Document Summary
People talk boldly about suicide, and man"s right to choose his own time of death, when it is not near them. For most of us, when it draws close, suicide is a word of fear, and never more so that in small, closely knit communities. (davis, 162) The tool that was used in this selection from the novel is both tone and mood. The tone of death was created when miss shanklin had died due to pneumonia. Leola was never told that she was the prettiest woman in the room. Boy"s usual attitude towards her was one of chivalrous patience, with a discernible undertone of exasperation. She loved him abjectly, but she was the one person on who he spent none of his sexual force- except in the negative form of bullying. She lived her life solely in relation to him; if he thought poorly of her, it did not matter what i might say to defend her.
