The Hatchet That Refused Burial Services
In the early 20th century, many West Indian authors were known to portray the way of life as seen in their homeland. Michael Anthony, author of the narrative, "The Interlude" recounts of a very tragic situation when someone's past behavior affected him drastically. An old gang member named Willis is released after being incarcerated for two years. Little john, a desperado, seeks revenge for Willis who crippled his friend. Willis stabs Little John during a confrontation and is arrested once more and taken to jail. Society condemns a person based on their past and is something we get to see on a daily basis and sadly the past never dies. Much like Willis’s situation I witnessed my high school classmate from Benque go through a similar scenario. His name was Kadeem Tillett, an uneasy, attention seeking, troublemaker. He was in my class for four years, and during the first three years he had already been involved in several brawls with students from San Ignacio. Even The famous boxer “Money” Mayweather had fewer rivals than him. He was known for never losing a fight and always getting off easy with school administration. An epiphany took place when Kadeem was placed on disciplinary probation for his senior year. His life took a complete 360, he began greeting everyone with a smile and his newly polished spirit illuminated our classroom. It was a gloomy day when a fight broke out at the entrance of the campus and Kadeem along with a few others tried to break up the fight. To his disappointment, he and all others involved were immediately escorted to the president’s office. When events like these take place, a question of who to feel sympathetic for arises. Society tends to challenge an individual’s sense of change and often causes the person to feel lonely, fighting against the entire world in pursuit
