nd blonde hair is the root of their racial discrimination. Not God but a swastika so black no sky could squeak through. She disagrees with the swastika symbol and thinks of it as an evil idol. Seeing that everything it stands for is wrong and unjust she is opposed to it. Every woman adores a Fascist, the boot in the face, the brute brute heart of a brute like you. She is mocking the brutality German men show toward women. The German militaristic culture developed a behavior of man, which had little respect for the women in their society.In her later years, Sylvia is able to reflect on life with her father in a more objective manner. You stand at the blackboard, daddy, in the picture I have of you, a cleft in your chin instead of your foot but no less a devil for that, no not any less the black man who bit my pretty red heart in two. She describes him as a devil with a cleft in his chin symbolizing the hoofed foot of s demon. In her eyes he is a monster whom she has been afraid to confront all of her life. She admits that he has hurt her in the past. She references him with the color black, to illustrate that he is a kind of dark person. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die and get back, back, back to you. She compares her fathers death with the attempted suicide of her own. She felt that if she could die that it would punish her father. I thought even the bones would do. But they pulled me out of the sack, and they stuck me together with glue. This passage states that she almost died. People took care of her and prevented her from committing suicide. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, a man in black with a Meinkampf look and a love of the rack and the screw. And I said I do, I do. Since she could not bring her father back to life she decided to find someone just like her father. She married a man that resembled her father and even acted like him. So daddy, I'm finally through....
