    established power by allowing the son to get hurt. The father solely had control of over the son scarping his ear on the belt buckle. If the father was not there‚ then the boy would not be harmed. An example of intentional violence is when Roethke says “You beat time on my head‚ with a palm caked hard by dirt” (Roethke 1). This literally describes the boy being hit by the father’s hand. The father establishes power over the boy by hitting him‚ knowing that the boy will not hit back. Overall‚ the theme of power
