The Burmese python is a very intriguing reptile. These carnivores can grow up to 20 feet long and have a diet of mostly small mammals and birds. They have scales that make beautiful colors and patterns which is probably why they are common choices for pets. They do not have venom but do possess other means of hunting. The pythons have sharp, curved teeth which dig into the animal they are hunting. As the animal tries to escaping it is just digging itself deeper in to the python’s teeth. Once the prey is weak the snake strangles it to death and eats it whole. They use chemical receptors to sense heat for finding food. “The pythons are extraordinary breeders with voracious appetites to match (paragraph 4).”They come in many interesting colors and sizes.…

Evans does not write about a Ball python, Burmese python, or any breed of python. She writes about a snake that has natty hair, hair that sticks in the direction of which it was brushed. A snake with skin dark in contrast, but soft to the touch. Eyes that are not red, but brown. Eyes that not only cry, but feel pain. The name of this snake is Tara, a little girl who is biracial. A girl who leaves a mark on every oath of which she encounters. Tara is the guilt that so many people feel. Evans is interested in the way that “people define themselves in concert with or against other people in their lives” (Moustrakis 2), which is what she does with Tara. Guilt can build up and up until it cannot stack any higher in a person’s heart. Guilt can break a person, no matter how big or small someone is, no matter how much one apologizes for their actions, and no matter how hard one tried to stay away from hurting another person. Guilt will always be there and this is the theme that Evans portrays in her short story…
The author’s diction heightens the power and force behind the snake as it responds to the man. When the man first stumbles across the rattlesnake, it is “undulant” while “waiting” and holding its ground in calm “watchfulness.” The diction conveys slight tension in the otherwise still setting. The atmosphere feels tranquil, and while the snake is cautious, it is still at ease. This tranquility disappears, however, as the man attacks, and the snake “shoots” into a dense bush and shakes its “furious” signal after a “twitch” of its tail. The snake’s movements show much more power than they did before the man attacked. In turn, the atmosphere becomes more tense as the snake becomes more forceful. The diction describing the snake before and after the man attacks creates a contrast…
The author's techniques in “The Rattler” convey the narrator's obligation to protect those living on the ranch, but also the narrator's uncertainty about the need of killing the snake. The reader feels sympathy for the rancher and also identifies with his conflict. The author does this through the use of Diction, Imagery, and Organization.…
It knows nothing of home or belonging, only of dominance, of trespassing, of intimidation. Anything it touches is stolen. It is universally rejected, and any environment it inhabits is thus verminated. Its size is its greatest lie, as it rules through the likelihood of going unnoticed or being underestimated. The quintessential parasite, thriving off the unfortunate miscalculations of weaker creatures, serving no purpose in nature other than to kill those whose instincts fail them. Remorselessly ensnaring and then paralyzing its prey before creeping back into its hole. No organism as pathetic and vindictive on this earth exists in such a state of openness and audacity.…
