Entering the Darkness to find the light
For my literary analysis I chose to do the man in the black suite. My reasoning for choosing this text is because I related so much to this reading and I will be able to broadly express my thoughts because reading this help me put myself in between the shoes of the author almost. So to get my ideas across I will use a method by breaking my discussion into five sections to keep things organize to give a better prospective and distribution of my paper. Back ground of the man in black. The man in black is basically about a little boys experiences when he encounters the devil. The little boy tells a story of how his brother died from a bee sting

Which, let's face it, could be indefinitely. Apparently Grandma Sands is notoriously strict, and Byron is going to have to leave his fellow teenage delinquent, Buphead, behind, so he's not exactly thrilled about this plan. The family decides to go swimming and kenny fears this whirlpool which a young boy died in. I take these two perceptions as when the little boy in the man in the black suite sees the devil he almost has the sense of fear. When kenny sees the whirlpool he has this fear also. How these stories relate Is that kenny looses his little sister in a drastic way such as did the little boy from the man in the black suit I will elaborate more in my next statement. My argument is that they made both characters seem very strong but also have this internal weekness. They both had fears and didn’t let the fear of death over come them even though both were faced with death they came on top when they entered the darkness they found the light.

I pray for that sort of release.” Basically he is stating that he wants a release that can be forgotten and never come into memory his experience almost dramatized and made him fraid and always as he got older he would think of it. I see this as a bad memory that always hunts you and no matter how hard you try to push ths memory away it seems to always come back and make you fearful. The next quote will be from my comparing in the Watson goes to Birmingham. “There's one good thing about getting in trouble: It seems like you do it in steps. It seems like you don't just end up in trouble but that you kind of ease yourself into it. It also seems like the worse the trouble is that you get into, the more steps it takes to get there. Sort of like you're getting a bunch of little warnings on the way; sort of like if you really wanted to you could turn around.” When I read this quote I think that is there a possible way we can turn away from the fear we have that is position into us.
