Miguel Street by V.S. Naipaul

6/2/09 pg15-From reading these 2 stories, I noticed that the narrator compares the characters Popo and Bogart and says they are very much alike. I agree because Bogart is sort of nice but comes back and is mean, leaves, comes back AGAIN, and he is all nice to the children and the police arrest him. Popo is different, he is a nice guy, a "carpenter" who always likes to talk. One day, his wife runs off with his gardener and he is depressed, he then leaves Miguel Street for a couple of days and it turns out he went to Arima to beat up his gardener. He came back and worked 24/7 to refurnish his house. then he shows up in the paper, apparently he is in jail because all the things he used to clean his house was stolen
