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 will always be there and this is the theme that Evans portrays in her short story…

If we don’t stop these snakes they will mess up…
