The Cranes

pg. 301-302

1. Committed suicide, I think that the story is about a woman who has something ailing her, and they are going to kill themselves.
1. Old couple
2. Kids (older)
3. Some accident happened
2. I believe that their story was plausible because there were many ways that they were relating to each other through their stories that they are talking about and they care about each other.
3. Cranes can be conventional symbols because they are relating to the cranes and the fact that they mate for life. 
4. They use humor as kind of a defense mechanism.
5. The story is like a poem because they use many things to represent other things that are in the story. There is no narration through the story, the whole story is told through dialouge
