The Similarities Between Orgon And Esteban
When it comes to the relationships between their daughters, Orgon and Esteban are very similar, but they do share different connections with the daughters. Both fathers want the best for their daughter, even if the fathers force their good intentions on the daughters. Orgon knew Mariane would listen to Orgon’s commands because she does not disobey her father, unlike Damis. Esteban knows Laurencia will listen to him because she knows her father just wants the best for her, even though sometimes he makes mistakes along the way. Both men idolized people, who tricked them to believe they were good citizens, but, the people they idolized ruined precious relationships because of charming the fathers. Damis’ relationship with Orgon was destroyed because

    Character Analysis of Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes

    Estrella’s mother, Petra, was left a long time ago by her husband. It is her circumstances that the reader is asked to relate with most. Estrella learns from her father’s disappearance that men cannot be trusted or depended on, and that women will usually always be left to take care of the family. Just as Petra has been abandoned physically by Estrella's father, and mentally by Perfecto, Estrella soon will come to be abandoned by Alejo. The fact that Perfecto has not married her mother, furthers this idea of lack of commitment made by the men in her life. “The eucalyptus trees lined the dirt road like a row of thin dancing girls fanning their feathers. Estrella knows the world of men and women through her mother Petra and Perfecto, ‘the man who was not her father’" (3). Viramontes is sympathetic to the men in some ways, but she does emphasize that when the men abandon the family, the women are left to endure for themselves and their children. Estrella and Alejo’s relationship, serves as a major basis for the author's allegation in this idea of suffering. Alejo’s death represents how once again a female is left behind. Estrella is the heart and soul of the novel and her love for Alejo, was more important than Alejo…

    Character Analysis: Enrique Journey

    In part one of Enrique Journey, what struck me the most about his experiences so far is him being without his mother. I love my mother and I can only imagine not being without her for a long time. Reading part one of this book, I felt sad for Enrique and his oldest sister because they were so sad and emotional about their mother leaving. What surprise me the most about part one was when Enrique’s dad left him for his girlfriend and he didn’t want Erique to go with him.

    Chapter Summary: The House Of The Spirits

    Esteban’s narration is biased and unreliable, but through the use of Clara’s notebooks we see the other side to Esteban’s time at Tres Marías as the patrón. When Esteban recalls his leadership at Tres Marías he says, “no ones going to convince me that I wasn’t a good patrón”(51) and that he has “been a good patron; there’s no doubt about it”(54). Shortly after, we hear from Clara’s notebooks of how “[n]ot a girl passed from puberty to adulthood that [Esteban] did not subject to the woods, the riverbank, or the wrought-iron bed”(63). If the reader only heard Esteban’s narration, the reader would have only seen that he “rebuilt chicken coops and stables”, “rescued the oil fields”, and planned “an irrigation system so the crops wouldn’t have to depend on the weather”(53). During his narration the reader sees all the positive things that he did, but with Clara’s notebooks the reader also sees the negative aspects of his time at Tres Marías. Along with seeing different events that occurred with multiple narrations we also see the feelings of multiple characters. When Clara first arrives at Tres Marias “she feels that she has finally discovered her mission in life”(105). While the reader understands her motivation, Esteban is unaware that she has this drive to fulfill her mission in life. Esteban thinks she is just “charitable and generous” and wants to make “those around her happy-except [Esteban]”(178). Due to the telling of two narratives in the history of the Trueba family we are able to see the relationship dynamics from both sides, and as a result, understand the Trueba family history…

    Book Analysis: Dreaming in Cuba by Cristina Garcia

    In Christina Garcia's, Dreaming In Cuba, we read about three generations of a Cuban family torn apart by their environment. Political turmoil force the del Pino family to split and cause animosity amongst each other. It is centered on the complicated relationships and bonds between mother and daughter. Garcia expresses the story in a mixture of first and third person narration. This method paints a portrait to show the diverse mother-daughter relationship, allowing readers a multi-view perspective of not only bonds but also complications. The mothers of the story are portrayed to be the villains by their own daughters. We see this through three generations, Celia, her daughter Lourdes, and Lourdes daughter, Pilar. Interactions between mother and daughter headline the majority of the dialogue in Garcia's story. However, the fathers of the story are in the background and respected by their daughters. The story doesn't give too much insight on Lourdes father, Jorge or Pilar's father, Rufino. It's as if the most influential parents are despised, while the fathers are praised. Pilar, the protagonist, travels down a similar road her mother traveled. Pilar wants to be nothing like her mother.…

    Essay On Siblings In East Of Eden

    Bianca over Kate, Adam over Charles, and later on Aron over Cal. With each pair of siblings we see different arguments but the root problem of all of their problems is the desire to win over their parents affection. We see this first in East of Eden when Charles beats Adam to a pulp and later comes back to kill him. In Taming of the Shrew we see Kate tie up Bianca to wail on her to let her anger out. In both situations the aggressor is starting the fight because of their lust for their parent’s greater love. In East of Eden it’s because Adam’s gift to Cyrus is liked more than Charles gift which he spent a sizeable amount of money on. In Taming of the Shrew it’s because Baptista just wants Kate to be married off to whoever he doesn’t even care and he uses Bianca as leverage to get that done sooner. In both situations the parent’s prefer one over the other which causes extreme anger in the other. All anyone wants in this situation is to be loved as much as their counterpart and they are confused as why they’re not and they take their anger out on the wrong…

    The Distance Between us

    Reyna’s father was a very hard working man, and wanted the best for his children. He might have showed his love for his them in very strange ways; however he always made it very clear that education was the key to their success. “I brought you to this country to get an education and to take advantage of all the opportunities this country has to offer” (Grande 166). She knew her father was very serious, and wanted to make him proud. Education became her life and I think this is one of the reasons she never gave up, even when times got tough she thought about the other Father- not the violent, alcoholic one, but the who left to the U.S because he wanted to her give something better(321).…
