    Hello,
    It wouldn't let me post the questions to the board so I'm sending you them in an email.

    1. Within DeLillo’s writing, a recurring theme he explores is human relationships and the psychology of crowds. Within Pafko at the Wall, how does DeLillo use the interactions between Cotter Martin and Bill Waterson, including their skirmish over the game winning ball, to highlight race relations in Cold War America?

    2. As an American novelist, Don DeLillo is fascinated with the power of history. In his novella Pafko at the Wall, he focuses on two historic events that ironically occurred on the same day in October 1951. During an interview, DeLillo commented that he thinks this day marked the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. How does he explore these conflicting events based in rivalry through the novella’s plot and characters?
