Edgar’s character towards his wife becomes barbaric because he forces her to have sex with him and emotionally blackmails her until she gives in to his sexual desires. Towards the end of the story Edgar sees the emptiness in his wife’s one good eye and realizes that she has been this way for a long time. But, instead of consoling her, he gets up and leaves her in bed alone. By doing this, it shows the lack of communication between them, and further exemplifies his barbaric character. This mannerism is also demonstrated after Edgar finds his wife’s lover’s letters in their closet.

“All I know for sure is that Andy Dufresne wasn’t much like me or anyone else I ever knew...

“Did you ever see Bernard Weaver that night? Like a run in at the casino or in the halls?” “Now that I think about it, I did see that nervous wreck pacing around the hallways of the hotel. He looked like a mental patient, walking back and forth like a madman. He was muttering about some money he owed.

For Lafeyette, the presentation of negative stimuli would be having an overcrowded household, having to duck and cover when random shootings between gangs happen on a daily basis, and watching his father come in and out of the apartment drunk (Kotlowitz, 1991).

Jack Finney uses Tom Benecke’s epiphany to illustrate that it is not the materialistic things in life that matter, but rather the relationships that are formed, that account for life’s greatest moments in the short story “Contents of the Dead Man’s Pockets”.

I believe the top three moments from The Shadow Club, a book following a junior high school student in a club with others who are second best to someone, were when Tyson watched one of their club’s meetings, when Randalph was rushed to the hospital, and when Tyson set his house on fire.
