The one thing I enjoyed about reading this story is how the author wrote about Hitler’s Toothbrush mustache in a humorous but informative way. He made it clear that the Toothbrush mustache distinguished Hitler from the rest of the people of his time and even history. The author also explains that Charlie Chaplin also wore the Toothbrush mustache and Hitler and him were two very different people. The author also made an interesting point when he said that people in later in history wore a Toothbrush mustache did not make in far in their political career. The Toothbrush mustache is not just a mustache anymore it is the Hitler’s mustache and through this story it is evident. Even the author wore the Toothbrush mustache and people even of today looked at him differently even though the last time the mustache was really worn was in history by Hitler. From this article it is apparent that people are mostly reminded of Hitler when the Toothbrush is worn. Not Charlie Chaplin, but Hitler.

From the beginning of this story I was captivated because the story begins with something I have never heard before and I wanted to read more to rid my confusion. The story begins about a man named Brian who has a PICC line in his arm. I have never heard of a PICC line and I had to read more just to figure out what it was. As I read I found out the story is about a man who is taking care of his love one, Brian. Brian is diagnosed with AIDS and the PICC line is a medical procedure that helps him with his disease. I like this story because the way the author begins the story with the end of the story. The author never fully relieves what a PICC line is till the end even though he mentions it in the first paragraph. I was fully interested through out the entire story because of his way of writing by leaving the reader to draw their own conclusion to what is going to happen to Brian.
