The Big Black Cobra Analysis

103 Words1 Page

The author describes Nag in a very detailed way with words that make a character seem powerful. In the text it says,”Then inch by inch out of the grass rose up the head and spread hood of Nag, the big black cobra...” This evidence illustrates a very power-craving, evil, venomous cobra. When a reader is reading the word “cobra” they instantly think evil or vicious because of the poisonous venom that a cobra uses to kill its prey. So when the author puts the word “cobra” into the text the readers imagine a huge wicked snake. In conclusion, the author effectively describes Nag.

    Domestic violence is a fast growing worldwide phenomenon which expresses through physical and psychological abuse of the victim by the violent side. As part of it, there are men who abuse their women in different ways, who can be categorized as "Pit-bulls" or "Cobras" by different features. In this essay I will present differences and similarities between the two types of abusive men. On the one hand, "Cobras" and "Pit-bulls" are very alike when it comes to decision making, because they have both chosen a violent pattern of aggression and abuse in order to deal with marriage or couple conflicts instead of using other ways such as: using more verbal communication with their women, getting professional help from a marriage/couple counselor or putting more time and effort into working marriage/couple problems out in a creative way. But, the two types make a full aware choice of turning to violence and abuse as a solution to problems, they do have different ways of expressing it, but the decision to turn to violence remains the same.
