Memory and Frank Sinatra has a cold.

Memory is very cute and yet very depressing. It serves as a sort of window into the world that exists in a nursing home. The author's writing was able to capture a sort of infantile nature in the old people and i thought that this was a good contrast in the story. But the humor is constantly shadowed by the nature of the story; these people are old, going senile and are near death and now they are all in a home comforting each other with stories of their lives. But it is still touching and heartwarming.

Frank Sinatra has a cold is a very good description of what frank sinatra, i think, is supposed to represent, or rather how people see him. I dont know much about him, but the profile seemed to be on the perception of who this man is, in which case it did a marvelous job. Realistically speaking, i doubt the economy slumped whenever he had a cold. Never the less the writer captured the awe inducing character traits that form the man. I cant but helpd get the feeling that the reason this profile was so well done is because it really resonated with all the people who know about frank sinatra and while reading it were nodding to themselves because it captured the spirit of frank sinatra for anyone who did know what he was about. In order to do this the author really revolves around his relationships with everyone, because that seems to define him. That he can throw catchup at someone face because it was on his food and still be adored is to say the least interesting.
