War Dances
I found that the story was very interesting, the language definitely bases the story in everyday life of many people in the world, which gives the story the type of contemporary because its in the present. During the story he refers to cockroaches a lot, as being parts of many problems that people have, but at the beginning he cares for it and it being squashed in his bag although he finds it disgusting at first. Another thing he seemed to do a lot was making a joke about basically every hardship the character went through in his story. But when he makes all of the jokes he is only temporarily diffusing the pain and agony that will accompany illnesses that he has and he may just have to face that fact in the future. His father came from old indian ways and his singing is basically the same as the guys random jokes that arent all necessarily funny, but lighten up the mood, which helps ease his father and other around him who were in the hospital and aren’t usually exposed to such things. But his father obviously accepts what he is going through as well as the guy who the narrator meets in the hospital.
