Answer: There was no much emphasis or mention about the cast's cultural background. Certain aspects are based on assumptions. I feel that the historical background is seen most important, to understand the cast's behavior.
Explanation:
Russian author Varlam Shalamov wrote a short story on Condensed Milk. Shalamov spent 15 years of life in Gulag, a camp where Russian forced-labor was being operated. This story narrates his terrifying experiences.
He was a political person, which shows that he was not a regular criminal but has been arrested as a thief. The treatment given to a thief was better than what he has been through. He was arrested based on suspicion as the Stalin Government found him as a threat though he was considered an enemy amongst the people. This is because of expressing his opinion that the Soviet Regime considered/felt inappropriate. Shalamov demonstrated his brilliance despite his deteriorating health at the camp. He was offered help to escape but wasn't fooled either. He lived amongst people whom he couldn't trust anymore.
While going through a harrowing treatment at the camp, the combatant realized that Shestakov was setting a trap. Shestakov was the only person with an office job with privileges. During those times, being with privileges was considered being good with the government and its people. Shalamov was afraid of Shestakov, as they were the only ones working in the field where Shestakov is trained. Shalamov was incredulous as to who had assigned Sestakov for the training and what he might have been offered?. Everything in the camp had to be paid with either another man's blood or his life.
A biography is an account of someone’s life written by someone else. Sonia Nazario wrote this true story about Enrique who tries to reach his mother in the United States by fleeing from Honduras.

"'We ask for money to take people to the U.S. on top of our trains,' says Jorge Mauricio Mendoza Pineda, twenty-four, describing what he and his Mara Salvatrucha gang do in Chiapas."
Answer: "Then we ate pizza and played video games with my family"
Explanation:
"Then I invited Hailey to spend the night at my house." wouldn't make sense due to the previous sentence stating that they already discussed unpacking Hailey's sleeping bag.
"Finally, I helped Hailey pack up her belongings in the morning." also wouldn'y make sense because "Finally" doesn't work in the middle of a sentence. Same thing with "Finally, Hailey’s mother agreed to let Hailey sleep over."
There are two lines in Tim O'Brien's excerpt. First, In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. This line depicts that what he imagined is not only up to his head, but it is real to the point that his imagination evokes a reaction to his stomach. Second, I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. He feels nauseous as his mind filled with images of what he experienced. For John Steinbeck's excerpt, the line would be In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. He describes his body's physical reaction to his emotional distress. How he was physically affected by his strong emotions.
