Week Thirteen: Literary Speculation

After having read aquatic uncle and all at one point, there were similarities between the short stories. Such as a family member/figure and the people associated with them, and how they affect them. Although both are set in different places and use different people the effects of the family members are similar. In one story they are positive and in the other negative/bias. In the aquatic uncle there is a distinction between viewpoints of both generations, and thoughts on the world around them and what they know, which eventually leads to the narrators love to leave with the uncle and fall in love with him because she agrees with his viewpoints over the narrators. In all at one point in a uncomfortably spaced society one figure was the comforting mother like one and no one speaks badly about her. She is greatly missed by all the different families who share a space with each other and have differences or dislikes towards each other. Nonetheless both express a family like figure who affects the lives around them and plays a role in their lives.
