Use Of Force Essay, Research Paper

The Use of Force illustrates very well the feelings and emotions of a normally

rational person, who, for any reason, is subjected to a situation that causes

much frustration and anger. Most people have patience, but everyone has a

breaking-point. The doctor found his breaking point. It was almost frightening

to read what the doctor was going to do next to the little girl. What he did was

no doubt justified, however, when he said ?I could have torn the child apart

in my own fury and enjoyed it,? that shows a lack of self control. I believe

this story is very much like everyday life in the past few years. People lose

their tempers too easily instead of being patient and cooling off. A great

example of this is the Jerry Springer Show; people go to that show already very

angry, and they think that being on TV will aid them in resolving their

conflicts. That is certainly not what happens, though. One person almost always

becomes enraged and physically attacks another person. It?s sick. I see it in

the hallways of our school. People lash out at anyone for any reason-bumping

into them. It is terrible. Just blow it off and calm down. The story The Use of

Force shows the evil side of a person. The doctor had to do his job, but did not

need to physically harm the little girl. His uncontrollable ferocity and

belligerence are startling, but it is sadly a common occurrence in the present.
