Quote
 " The entire time I felt an invisible hand about to grab my shoulder. my neck was clenched as hard as a tree stump" (Gantos 116).
Reaction
This quotation shows the author using similes, saying is neck was as hard as a tree stump. Additionally, Gantos uses imagery when saying that he felt a hand grabbing his shoulder. This quotation reflects on the deep guild that he feels in hiss writing, of getting caught and put in jail for smuggling. Throughout the book, his actions make him guilty, and these actions stop him from being successful. This quotation shows this guilt to the reader in a very descriptive way.
