Two Different Roads Was there ever a time when it was difficult to accept death? Some may not have this experience but Ayah and Henry have and they deal with death in two completely different ways. In these two stories, the protagonists contrast in the ways to accept death.

The short story “Lullaby”, by Leslie Marmon Silko, can be contrasted from “The Californian’s Tale”
