1. "A good rug covers holes in the kitchen floor, clean-looking blankets cover a clean-looking bed. Dishes are stacked neatly in the kitchen sink.But cockroaches still scurry across his kitchen table"
-These details give us a visual of the mans life. He tries to keep clean, tries to be neat, but still he is over run by pests. Even though he lives in a disgusting environment he tries to be "normal".
2." He's worried about his diabetes. He's frightened by blood in his stool and sores on his gums. He wonders whether the white-staffed hospitals on the hill above him will treat a poor black man with no teeth."
- Here we are fit with the full impact of his poor health and his fears. We gain a better visual of a sick man looking older than his years.
