How to analise the passage below?
"American Movies, English Books - Remember How They All Ended?" Gamini asked that night. “An American or an Englishman gets on a plane and leaves. that's it. The camera leaves with him. He looks out the window in Mombasa or Vietnam or Jakarta, now he can look through the clouds. Tired hero. A few words to the girl next to him. He's going home. The war, therefore, is over for all intents and purposes. For the West, it is an adequate reality. It is most likely the history of the last two hundred years of Western political writing. Go home. Write a book. Hit the circuit. ”
