Homework #2 due on 9/17

             Which details help you to relate to or identify with the narrator of the story?

                 The most two details I found in the reading are sights,smell and sounds. For example Her skin is so light that you see the blue veins on the back of her hands. And another example for sound could be She opens the back door and stops for a moment . Then the door slams. She's  gone. A third detail I found for smell  in the story is He's excited, sniffing his hands and clothes. Therefore, there is only few texture and taste that I found while I was reading through. Such as for Texture I found is I try to tell him, but in my dream I have no voice, and  my legs have melted like butter in he sun. Finally for Tastes I found that we eat rice and fish and return to our room

    The  widespread violence like war and genocide happen basically of political problems for example they wants more control and power over the country. The second reason could be poverty in many countries, such as Africa, Haiti,India, and some countries in Central America. Therefore, most of the time extremist just want to have more power to control the world.
