I am Interested in how characters, morals, and tropes can completely change nature and categories from their origins in Africa through the terrible funnel of slavery in the Western hemisphere. A turtle warning of boastfulness can be transformed into a talking human skull warning of the importance of keeping quiet for one's survival. I suggest the next transformation of this story.
In “I’ll Give You All My Silence” there is a transformation of acceptance from terrorized to lover of the monster. Silence is still championed but instead of for survival, it is to protect one's sense of peace. The Skull is now the protector of one's peace when trying to fully express oneself to a world that frustrates you with its inability or lack of desire to meet you halfway.
