The narration, “Perhaps we can understand better how Paul felt if we understand what happens to all of us when we get angry. It’s as if several parts of our body work harder and faster. We feel great excitement; the heart beats faster; the blood seems to rush faster through the body. Sometimes a lot of blood rushes to the head; our face gets flushed. Sometimes blood rushes to the stomach. Anger makes us feel sick all over. Sometimes we clench our fists or bite our nails. Often we feel as if we were kettles filled with steam; the angrier we get, the stronger the pressure inside us. Like the kettle, we must find some way to let the pressure out. When Susan got angry at Carol in the park, she got all stirred up inside. And when Paul got angry at his friend Pete, he felt as though he was boiling over with anger,” accompanies the images of a boy lying on a bed thinking, a diagram of blood flow in the body when someone is angry, a diagram of a kettle building up to a boil, a little girl yelling, and a little boy with an angry expression.
