I found the reading very interesting especially the character of Mr. Kapasi. Throughout the reading, I was very curious about what was going to happen between Mr. Kapasi and Mrs. Daz. That made me keep reading until the last page. I didn’t expect any of the things that happened in the story. I kept the title of the story in mind while reading it because I just had no idea how someone can interpret maladies. The conversation between Mr. Kapasi and Mrs. Das when she told him about her son was one of the parts that stood out to me in the story.  Mrs. Daz spoke the same language as her husband, but she didn’t tell him anything about her son and about how she felt about it. She still needed Mr. Kapasi to interpret her feelings. Mrs. Daz thought Mr. Kapasi can feel her regret and how terrible she feels. The questions that I kept asking myself though were, how did Mrs. Daz expect Mr. Kapasi to make her feel better when she said, “I was hoping you could help me feel better”? how did she want him to interpret her feelings? I think Language here is a metaphor to our feelings as if Mr. Kapasi can interpret how the patients feel he can interpret how Mrs. Diaz feels even though they speak the same language. Sometimes language isn’t the only thing that is standing in your way to tell how you feel.
