1. Eighty-six days and done. Life was dead. Paul D beat her butt all day every day until there was not a whimper in her. How does this quote explain Paul D’s emotions while on the chain gang?
2. Why does Morrison compare Paul D’s heart to a "tobacco tin lodged in his chest"? What does this metaphor tell us about his emotions?

Explanation:

"Eighty-six days and done. Life was dead. Paul D beat her butt all day every day until there was not a whimper in her." It is a quote that shows how all the abuses, violent situations and injustice that Paul D suffered faced in prison, left him cold and insensitive to the point that he did not care about the death of life, nor try to save it, on the contrary he wants to be even more violent towards her, hitting life to the point of her, literally losing consciousness and stop moaning.

The metaphor "tobacco tin lodged in his chest", shows how Paul D.'s emotions are non-existent, without interfering in his life. It is as if his emotions were something inert, without movement and expression, like a can of tobacco.
