The commentary is that Jack talks too much. I think not. I think that what you are seeing is that he is a highly observant, and equally articulate, mixed with a scientific/objective mind, yields a person who is describing his environment which is very interesting to him.
I love how impartial he is, it is clear he is/was married to another ethnicity, with quite a beautiful consequence. A lovely human. Christ, I hope, is proud of him.
I knew a family they fled East Germany in the 70s and it was no picnic. It was amazing they survived. Years later they were still hunted. The father worked in the Soviet Military industrial complex. The children were our playmates. They were not the only people running from communism I've known. Funny how the same story played out globally and how similar they all were. I don't think McCarthyism was wrong. We should have doubled down with it.
The irony is that not many english speaker can properly pronounce the corresponding German word for Squirrel, which is "Eichhörnchen". They say Eickhörncken. "Ch" in German is a guttural/hissing sound non-germanics usualy struggle with, especially in the southern German accent. Arabic or Hebrew speaker use similar sounds in their language, so it's easier for them.
