Relationship Between Families

Language is an important tool to let people communicate with each other. There are stories that describe culture though character’s childhood in the past. Thomas Simmons’s “Motorcycle Talk” has a great sense of self-awareness. He describes his complicated relationship with his father and their only connection through cars. He also discovered that to each kind of people there is their own language. Simmons claims that the lasting connection he has with his somewhat distant father is rooted in the culture of machines in general and motorcycles in particular. Harry Mark his Petrakis’s “Babra Nikos” is about how he learned own culture from a Greek storekeeper. He also clams the culture and the language that defines it offer common background and a point of departure for communication.

Simmons explores an easily relatable topic on how he connects with a particular parent.
