In Cynthia Voigt's "When She Hollers," the protagonist observes her hand and feels a sense of detachment from it. She perceives it merely as a common hand, like many others, grasping a simple pen without any significant meaning attached to it. This moment of reflection highlights her feelings of disconnection and the struggle with her identity.

By expressing that the hand is just "some girl's hand," she emphasizes her sense of separation from her own physical self and the actions it may take. The idea of letting the hand act autonomously suggests a desire to escape from her current reality and relinquish control over her circumstances, reflecting deeper themes of alienation and self-exploration in the narrative.
