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.
Communication is very useful in the social community. It is very common for parents and children to share a hobby in order to acquire some common ground for daily conversation. Simmons explores an easily relatable topic on how he connects with a particular parent.

Though the story, where Simmons describes his father as “magnificent,” we get the sense that his Dad is a more complex man than we may think at first.

When he sees motorcycle, he flashes his mind to the garage with his dad’s relationship. Simmons was able to find a connection with his father through his passion for motorcycle. He describes his complicated relationship with his father and their only connection through cars. Simmons and Perkins always shared how they communicate and built their lovely relationship with each other between their families. They built their own language to communicate with each other.
