The way Bowles started describing Jacinto's actions were very detailed. The town dweller is being very blunt with what he wanted from Jacinto. Jacinto seemed to have no choice. The author is very descriptive of the people getting on and off the train. Jacinto is violent threatening the white woman. He mentions he will the man the woman is with. I find that to be harsh and he wasn't thinking,
The author is very blunt. At the end I wonder what the old woman meant by saying "He has lost his mother". Is there a reason he is behaving this way? It seems Jacinto is going through something that caused him to react this way.
