In the of the short story " The Cure For Racism is Cancer" by Tony Hoagland, readers visualize that he is a patient at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Texas. He describes the different people he sees in the waiting room at the hospital, he sees all different kinds of people. Tony quoted " This room.... is full of people of different ages, body types, skin colors, religious preferences, and cultural backgrounds". Tony goes into detail about what he sees the people around him are doing, so that readers could really picture what is around him. He made an appointment for a cat scan on friday at 8am, he describes the lady, Natasha, who is the lady at the front desk. Tony does a good job is in describing people he sees around him. He really does show people that at the end of the day we are all the same.
