    In Danielle Evan’s short story “Snakes,” Evans molds a pattern that families seem to fit, a mold imbedded with guilt. This pattern symbolizes a snake, the sneakiness, the lies that are told throughout the story, and finally, how it can eat someone alive. Evans tells this story through the eyes of a nine year old girl named Tara, who comes from interracial parents. Family is supposed to be there to love and support each other, but sometimes people lie in order to persuade one into doing what they see fit, turning into a snowball of lies that soon consumes ones mental being. Although people lie and ignore the guilty conscious that comes along with lying, sooner or later that guilt will slowly slither up behind them and drive one…

He thought what it could be a rabbit, a squirrel, or just a little frog whatever it was imperative that he have it as a pet.

    Dennis Covington began to get closer to the congregation and he soon had a taste for handling snakes. After he became familiar with the church services, he began to invite his family to come along. Covington's daughter, Ashley, also had an influence on Covington becoming more interested in the snake handling ritual. She was the one person that he thought would never like an act such as snake handling. Her reaction to the services startled him. "The raw hillbilly music had been imprinted on her genes, like something deep within her she was remembering" (114). Ashley's reaction to the ritual brought on a more determined and willing Covington to search their family history and see if anyone was once a snake handler. The southerners' beliefs about snake handling were questionable and…
