Long Answer
1. Some of the stories are in first person, usually as recollections or flashbacks (1,3), while others are in third person (2,4). The multitude of stories, none of which are linked other than with the single theme of the effect of the war in Vietnam, relate to the idea that there is no single refugee experience, as many people experience and process trauma related to displacement in different ways.
