This picture is symbolic of strength vs. smarts. While this conflict is tried and true it can still be seen in every school, job, and activity around the nation. The flexing muscles are strength and the brain is intelligence. While brute strength is, strong, intelligence is always greater.
“I had uncreated life. I felt euphoric. I felt like the God of destruction. Momentarily I felt invincible"(McCauley, 1101)
The main conflict in my memoir is the strong versus the weak. Throughout the book Gary has been abused and taken advantage of by many people. He arrived to get stronger, but his stature was never on his side. When he became an adult, he was away from the people who hurt him but the damage was done and he had to prove he was strong. He used his intelligence to corner, outwit, trap and eventually kill people. When he does kill he feels invincible. The quote above shows this because that is what he feels when he kill. It makes feel strong.
