"She could hear the wind move through the tree tops like a long satisfied insuck of breath."
The context: There was a pistol shot, and a part of the family had been moved into the woods.
The word here which is interesting is "satisfied." Does this mean that the killers are satisfied? Or does this mean that a part of that family is satisfied with their fate? You could argue either, obviously, but I think, if we appeal to the induced majority, that choosing the killers may be a more sought choice. I beg to differ, but first we must investigate in to when a person becomes satisfied with death. In this story, the man, assumptuously, becomes satisfied at gun point, thus hopelessness. We could discuss, but that might get groteque, huh?
