Mosley effectively utilizes imagery and symbolism. Easy's desolate feelings in a jail cell are enhanced, for example, through his observation of a line of black ants traveling some distance to a corner containing the crushed corpse of a mouse. The rodent's appearance provokes a comparison between the time of its death and the time of Easy's being fired from his job.
