The Shadow Snake Analysis
Man Vs. Man is the most prevalent type of conflict in Terrier. Beka is a ‘puppy’(junior police-Dog), and there are two cases that she got her teeth into. The first case is someone claiming to be ‘Shadow Snake’ kidnapping children from their parents and leaving a note in the child’s bed, telling the parent to leave something valuable in a certain place one week from then. If the parents don’t pay, the ‘Shadow Snake’ kills the child. Many disregarded the note, the shadow snake is a fairy tale after all, and found their child dead in their garden or on their porch. They wouldn’t go to the Dogs, because they wouldn’t do anything about a child missing in the lower city. Beka heard about it because Crookshank’s 3-year-old great grandson was taken

    The Twentieth Century Fox Studio Classics DVD release of The Snake Pit from 1948 features a commentary by Aubrey Solomon, who has written two books about the films and history of that film studio. The movie was based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Mary Jane Ward, telling the story of Virginia Cunningham played by Olivia de Havilland, who was a major Hollywood star at the time.

    “That Black Snake Moan” by Blind Lemon Jefferson is a perfect example of a song that was used to ‘escape,’ in a way, from life instead of focusing on issues prevalent during that time.

While they might not have felt that they could do much more about the racism and poor financial situation across the country, they could find relief through music. This is similar to today where…
