Hello,
I feel that the yellow fever epidemic was such a devastating time. The yellow fever caused many people to lose the lives leaving behind orphaned children to be put into over crowded orphanages.
Not only, the affects of yellow fever had horrible side effects. As stated in the text, “spewing streams of vomit black with digested clots”. The effects of catching yellow fever was dangerous and usually led to death. The extreme temperatures led to a high population of mosquitoes which must have carried the yellow fever.
If you have any questions I will answer them the to the best of my abilities.
Have a great day,
IChameleon

Not much is said about the protagonist's cultural background in "Condensed Milk". He does refer to himself and other prisoners as "politicals":
'There was no reason for us politicals to be there . . .' This most likely means the protagonist is an educated man, possibly a writer or a journalist whose words and work was deemed dangerous by the Russian government.
Such a background helps the protagonist understand how things really work at the camp. He knows the offer to escape is a trap. He is smart and cunning enough to get some condensed milk out of the deal and then to break it off. He uses his intelligence to stay alive a little longer.
<h3>Who is
Varlam Shalamov?</h3>
"Condensed Milk" is a short story by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982). It was written based on the author's experience as a prisoner at a Gulag, a forced-labor camp.
The name and previous history of the protagonist are not revealed. He does not belong to the same group as the thieves, for example. He was arrested for being "political", which leads to assumptions about his background. He is most likely educated, which means he can be seen as a threat to the government for having his own opinions and the power to express them.
In conclusion, the protagonist of "Condensed Milk" uses his intelligence and knowledge to remain alive.
