The climax of this paragraph is when the speaker and his sister were
cornered. They became the kill of the demons and howling dogs (13).
However, the appearance of a white Mercedes, which swerved to the rescue,
may be a depiction of hope. The verb swerve can indicate a last-minute action
illustrating the urgent situation. In the arrival of the white Mercedes, the
attackers scampered away in the dark like cockroaches (15). The contrast
between dark and white could be interpreting racial tensions. The white
Mercedes was portrayed as the hero and the attackers, who scampered into
the dark, as animalistic antagonists. These descriptions imply that darker colors
represent evil and treachery while lighter colors represent hope and positivity.
