A shiver of unease ran down Booker’s spine, but when he flashed a worried look at Jorge, the young Latino exuded a serene aura of composure, and he drew strength from his unwavering calm. It was a scenario the pool boy had evidently participated in before, and when he saw a flicker of arousal in the young man’s dark eyes, Booker’s heart began to thud with excitement, and he found himself longing for the game to begin.
Channeling his inner director, Holland clapped his hands together several times. “Pay attention, boys. The scene will take place in the shower. You are to wash each other’s bodies in a slow, erotic manner, but there is to be no kissing. Understood?”
In a dreamlike state, Booker followed Jorge into the gleaming bathroom.

When his gaze met Jorge's, he saw a look of complete trust laced with deep, sexual longing shining from the soft, brown eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He started slow, and as his hands caressed the young Latino's broad chest, he found himself falling into a powerful, hypnotic state. Time stood still; the sensation of Jorge’s smooth, flawless flesh beneath his fingers the only thought occupying his mind, and when his thumb grazed the raised nub of his lover’s nipple, he took an almost hedonistic delight in the gasp of pleasure that resonated around the …show more content…
He forgot about the camera, he forgot about Holland’s penchant for blackmail, and most tellingly, he forgot about Tom. His mind remained focused on one thing; restoring the dignity and self-respect Holland had so effectively stripped from him with each humiliating sex act. For the first time since entering the tycoon’s home, he had some semblance of control. He was no longer the submissive bitch, he was once again the alpha male, and he planned to demonstrate his dominance. While his affection for Jorge was genuine, his confidence over the last few days had taken a beating, and he still had another two weeks of abuse to endure until Holland freed him from his contractual obligations. He needed a boost, an emotional curative to assist him through the ordeal of the physical and psychological debasement he would continue to suffer over the coming weeks. Therefore, there were no regrets or feelings of guilt for what he was about to do to the emotionally damaged young man in front of him. In his delusional mind, it was his turn to shine, and by God, he would shine like a fucking
Janet M. Ellerby analyzes “Lust” in her essay titled, “Lust”. In this essay, Ellerby goes through and gives a brief but accurate summary of the short story. Then she gives her interpretations of what this story was supposed to mean. She finally talks about the techniques Susan Minot used in order to get the atmosphere and emotions she wanted the reader to experience. I agree with how Ellerby interprets this story and it will be evident throughout this paper. Because I agree with what this essay had to say, I will be able to use it as evidence to support my ideas.
The next step arrives Rodriguez asks, “But betrayal against whom? Not against visitors to the house exactly. No, I felt that I had betrayed my immediate family.” (231) He wonders at this point whom he has betrayed and to add more to this confusion on his mind Rodriguez goes on to answer his own question. How could that be? If the goal of immigrating to America was for him to probably and most likely learn this new language and assimilate his anglicized culture as effectively and as best as he could. The author shows how this goal was m...
The patient was more beautiful than she realized. If only she could see it for herself. The color from her dainty face had drained to a sickened green tint and her eyes widened in fear. The walls of the clinic exam room were ordained in calming colors, but offered the young woman no comfort. She continued to blink rapidly as if she would awaken from the nightmare; her long eyelashes could not fan the health worker’s words away. She thought it was harmless, just a night of fun. It made her feel valuable and attractive. Yet being desired now left her alone, crumpling to the floor screaming between sobs and desperately reaching to the empty air around her. She couldn’t grasp any security. Not only did that harmless night of fun result in her becoming
I think the part when Captain Torres answered the question of how many people did he catch because I think that would have given motive to decide to kill him. Also, after the question is answered he starts to narrate more about what he feels and what he's thinking unlike before where he described then environment around him, he still does describe the environment around him, but it's more related towards his anxiety.

“As long as Latino kills Latino… we’ll always be little people,” stated Ernesto Quinonez. This statement comments on the integration of society within an individual’s identity and it’s long lasting effects. The perception of who we are behind closed doors and who we are in public greatly influences our state of mind and our internal well-being. Throughout Quinonez’s Bodega Dreams, the reader can clearly see how one’s traditional culture and perception of private vs. public image is valued amongst the characters. At times, the reader may notice an internal struggle within multiple characters. The thought of going against what may be considered “normal” can be quite nerve-racking for
This text is fuelled by Ortiz Cofer’s personal narratives. The use of her anecdotes provide a sympathetic view into her own personal experience. Despite the tragic nature of her stories, she does not have an emotional view when discussing it, but rather an objective view. She is not cold, but distant. This allows us to see the subjectivity through an almost impartial view, despite her own intimate experiences. This is displayed when she talks about seeing her mother from a photograph, describing her as “a stunning young woman by Latino standards: long, curly black hair, and round curves in a compact frame.” (Ortiz Cofer # emphasis Amador) By describing her mother from a photograph as opposed to Ortiz Cofer’s actual memories of her, she places distance between this Latino woman and herself. She is not necessarily involved in this narrative, occupying the space of a passive
“Hooked” is one of the ugliest ways to characterize sexual contact. Similarly, “steak” and “wine” are used to describe not only the redness of their faces when they have sex, but also to suggest a rich, gluttonous consumption of one another. This comparison is juxtaposed with the one before it. It’s fleshy, animalistic. Sex is no longer a superficially beautiful art; it is a heavy meal to be ingested. It impresses onto the reader how ugly sex without love can turn. If the order of these were switched, it wouldn’t be nearly as effective.

Booker. Even the name sent a wave of desire rippling through his body. What was it about the brash, conceited officer that had him feeling so hot under the collar? Was it his dark, mischievous eyes? His confident swagger? His tilting grin? The bad-boy biker look?
The day after his admittance, Penhall had thoughtfully brought in clothing and toiletries, but Tom had stubbornly refused to see his friend, or anyone else, including Fuller. He was not ready to face the barrage of questions he knew they would ask, and because he hadn’t spoken to Booker since his arrival
In the critical essay “Lust,” Janet Ellerby summarizes and analyzes the short story “Lust.” Janet Ellerby describes the author’s theme for the short story. The narrator of the story is “unprepared to face the pressure of male desire” and does not know the emotional connection of intimacy. In the short story there is a difference between the desire of men and women, and the attachment of emotions. Susan Minot also describes “what it might mean to open the heart.” The narrator feels that she cannot open her heart to the boys she has encounters with. Ellerby describes that when the narrator lists her encounters she does it without any emotional connection; it is “more like a grocery list than an emotionally charged account of an erotic past.” This shows the narrator trying to give more of a male attitude towards the encounters. Psychologically, the narrator has no emotional attachment to her partners at the beginning of the story, and seems withdrawn from her experiences. The story starts to take a turn and the narrator is negatively affected psychologically.
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
