Did I Skip A Page?
Who knew books could be so mysterious. I sat waiting for a huge event to take place in Tess of the D'Urbervilles, but it never came. Did I skip a page? Maybe it was in the next chapter. Reading Tess has made me question very obvious situations; does Alec hiding behind curtains imply something deeper? Is the fact that Tess works with birds a lesson that can not be directly stated because of Victorian culture? Be careful of these old books, girls might be raped and you wouldn't even know.

Well, the way a story flows like that is similar in how the snake subtly readies its coils for its strike against its prey. However, the unpredictable part about it is determining whether it's a venomous cobra, or a constricting python. Will it strike, quickly, slowly, with fangs, or with coils? Well, people shall become more wary of the threats if they know what kinds of snakes lie in the environments they traverse in. Therefore, in a place full of birds, what kind of snake do you believe Alec is?
