One day, Tony visited her for he heard that Kikay has already arrived. Tony was Kikay’s sweetheart and they got secretly engaged before Kikay left. While waiting for Kikay to wake up, Totoy and Nena also came. Totoy and Nena were also Kikay’s and Tony’s childhood friend. Upon waking up, Kikay immediately entertained her friends. They are all shock of what they’ve seen. Kikay was transformed into a different girl. She doesn’t want to be called as Kikay instead she wants everybody to call her Francesca.

    Brooklyn

    • 1300 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Brooklyn is neither more nor less about loss than it is about gain. Rather they are both two of the crucial ideas within the novel experienced by characters other than just Eilis. These two key ideas which are evident throughout play an important role in aiding the growth and development of characters throughout the novel, particularly Eilis. The examples of apparent loss experienced include the losses for family and loss of family, not just the deceased such as Rose or Eilis’s father but also the living which results in the loss of home ensuing in severe homesickness. Certain gains recognizable are a new refined sense of identity for Eilis, in that she has gained much more confidence and self-assurance which helped in developing room for growth and maturity from the once passive and shy girl in a confident woman. Leaving for Brooklyn upon the wishes of others brings out the need for survival in Eilis. She gains the need for survival not only when in Brooklyn but also on the journey there. The hardships she faced were that of the migrant experience in the 1950’s which required the need to survive in order to establish more successful life not only Brooklyn but other foreign countries. There are no particular losses which outweigh the gains and vice versa. Both are very relevant and central ideas in Brooklyn, which not only help the development in characters as well as making it more relatable to the readers.…

    One of the first colonies to be established, Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States and one of the most densely populated. This state is half the size of the second smallest state, Delaware. Rhode Island lacks valuable mineral deposits and fertile farmland. It was the first state to become industrialized, especially in the textile and jewelry trade. Rhode Island lies on the beautiful Narragansett Bay, and is a popular vacation area to which boaters, fishermen, and other water-sports fans visit during the summer months. Rhode Island earned the nickname "Rogues' Island" because it took in all settlers, including those who were banished or refused to welcome.…

    She explains to him the differences between the Lunas (his mother’s family) and the Marez (his father’s family). In chapter 4, on page 41, Ultima states that “It is the blood of the Lunas to be quiet, for only a quiet man can learn the secrets of the earth that are necessary for planting- They are quiet like the moon- And it is the blood of the Márez to be wild like the ocean from which they take their name , and the spaces of the Ilano that have become their home.” Tony's mother is a faithful and passionate Catholic, believing in the importance of God and the Virgin Mary. She raises him in the hope that he will some day become a well-educated priest.
