Magic realism, another specific South American characteristic, adds to the feeling of the narrator really just copying an old oral story. “ the boy brought him a cup of thick and steaming chocolate, which he drank without pausing to breath. Then he wiped his lips with a handkerchief …Thereupon Father Nicanor rose six inches above the level of the ground.”.

Ordinary Men, Review
.... thirty-five percent were lower-class workers. The remaining two percent were middle-class but not greatly successful. Many were in their late 30s, too old for active army duty, but just right for police duty. They were old enough to know of political ideology other than that of the Nazi party, even though most were members.
Without a doubt, the men of this battalion greatly contributed to the final solution. The first action the 101st Battalion was order to do took place in Józefów. They went into the .....

This did not necessarily mean that he liked the people he had relationships with. Conrad found his own teammates annoying, his psychiatrist too nosy in his life, and Karen wasn’t creditable either because she had similar problems like him, since they met each other at the hospital. Bergen was Conrad’s only real friend, .....

.... that nothing happened and nothing was wrong. Cal once noticed this about his about his wife Beth before they had separated, there is an addiction here; to secrecy; to a private core within herself that is so much deeper than he ever imagined it to be (pg. 253).

Oroonoko, Not An Anti-slavery
.... this is only a guess based upon the brief description of the narrator given. Whenever the narrator mentions the relationship between the colonists and the slaves she does not include herself with the other colonists, she calls them "they". "They" of course referring to the colonists. It seems by doing this she does not necessarily condemn the colonists' actions, instead she says that she was simply not involved.
