      “A Single Lucid Moment” By: Robert W. Soderstrom, states that no matter where you go you can find family.This short story is about a couple who go to a village in New Guinea, by the name of, Maimafu. These villagers greet the couple with smiles, a shelter and food, like a family. Even though this is a village of eight hundred people, every one there is family, they even tell each other stories to entertain each other. Robert and his wife brought pictures of their home town to show the villagers how it was like in Chicago. One of these pictures included two homeless men, eager to learn, the villagers ask question,upon question to find out why these two men don't have homes.  Robert tries to explain, but doesn't help the puzzled villagers.The next morning Robert wakes up with a knock on his door, Four villagers greet him, and tell him, that they have a plan. The Villagers tell Robert that they want to move the two homeless men to Maimafu,but Robert has to explain to the villagers, that, there are many homeless in America. Even though the villagers were discouraged at first, but they understood, that life in America is different that their home village.

    “A Single Lucid Moment” By: Robert W. Soderstrom Illustrates that you can be any race, or be from different countries, and be a family. I loved how the Villagers treated Robert and his wife, like a family. They supply the couple with a comfortable shelter, a garden with multiple vegetables and fruits to eat. I love the part where they tell the stories, and Robert brings photos of his home town Chicago. one of these pictures include, two homeless men. The Villagers don't understand that some people just don't have homes, Robert tries to explain to the eager villagers that people don't have homes, but doesn't get much luck. The next morning the villagers try to explain that they have a plan to move the two homeless men, but Robert has to define the problem and tell the villagers that there are a lot of people in America who are homeless, sad but understanding, the villagers went on with their eight hundred villagers. I love this story, because, it shows that in different parts of the country, people have a different way of living, in Maimafu a village of eight hundred people is a family, on the other hand, in America, you barely know eight hundred people.
