1. Alma Singer and Oscar are similar due to the primary reason that they are both on a search. Both of their searches are due to the death of their father. In both cases the search was driven by the love and admiration of their father. They both admired their father’s ways for their own reason and wanted to find some way to cope with the loss of their loved one. Probably the main reason that Alma Singer and Oscar are similar is their search for self. Though their method of searching may be a little different, the main reason and is exactly the same. Some of the differences which are present between Alma and Oscar. The main difference that I noticed between Alma and Oscar was the relationship with their mothers. I noted that Oscar was more unenthusiastic with his mother obtained a new boyfriend, while Alma actually tried to find someone for her mother.
2. The way that Binx can be put into the context of HoL is the similarities in the search. Binx is unsure of what he is really searching for, and in History of Love, Alma is on a search. The similarity is the search, while the reason and source of the search is different. The similarity however is the search for self, and the fact that both are searching for “something” in order put themselves in context with the world.
3. Leo Gursky is is old man who is living in New York and living as a blacksmith. Leo tries to get noticed as much as possible so that people are able to notice him, Leo’s greatest fear is not dyeing unnoticed and what he gave to his is a lot. He really seemed to love his son and if the situation was right, would have been a great father.
