For this analysis I will deal with the element of characterization in the short story "The Instrument" by Canadian writer Wayde Compton. It tells the story of twin brothers Albert and Donald. They used to be siamese, conjoined at the back of their heads until they underwent surgery as children to separate them.

The conflict in the story arises when one of them wants to record a documentary about their father, a former musician that seems to have become mentally ill after years of drug use. The person financing the documentary is the same millionaire that paid for the surgery decades before. While Donald wants to record the documentary and interview his father, Albert will try to stop it because he thinks their father is crazy and he will embarrass himself.

The conflict is framed through the separation between the two brothers, both physical through the surgery they underwent and the resultant emotional separation. At one point, Donald sees Albert for the first time in a while, "Donald runs a hand over his own scalp, seems to catch himself doing it, puts his palm down flat on the white table". This quotation points out that the first thing that comes to mind when they see each other is how they were joined or connected, and we may hint some longing for reconnection, even if it is through reflex actions like touching the scar in the scalp.

Answer:

Childhood is such a golden time that we can’t forget anytime. Every people remember and miss their childhood. In my childhood, I have so many memories that I used to remember and talk with everyone. Here I will share some memories from my childhood. Once we visited one of my uncle houses that were about five hours journey away from our city. I can remember the whole journey by train. When we arrived there, the uncle came to the station for receiving us. That was a hill station, I can remember. Then we took a jip that took us to uncle home, the road was really interesting. I still remember and miss that day.
