Talk:Vultures/@comment-25762696-20141207084737

I really liked the three parallels here, and to help others, I will try to explain:

Story 1: Is the dying man and his associated people (The bald brother, fancy-clothed woman, son and his wife), and is in plain text.

Story 2:    Is the words in Italics, about the vultures and the doe. If you read enough, you can see that the doe represents the dying man, Vulture 1 is the bald man, Vulture 2 is the wife and husband who got high, and Vulture 3 is the lady with the fancy clothes. The nurse who pops in is the wolf, although I'm not sure I quite relate her with a wolf, as a wolf has so much more purpose in this situation than the nurse just poking in, apologizing for interrupting, and leaving.

Story 3: The analogy of a poker game, present in both plain text and italics, denoted wherever cards or games are mentioned. Each person's moves determines their strategy in the game, and although each seems to get what they want, the story says that no one really wins, which is true.

I loved the comparison and complexity. Good story.
