This poem was very confusing at first‚ because of the way it seemed to contradict itself. One of the first statements is “for a duro‚ you could lie down in the hallway of the hotel. For a duro‚ you could have a coffee and a plain roll that would shatter like glass.” Then‚ with no transition at all‚ it says “for a duro‚ you could have it all‚ the cars‚ the women‚ the seven course meal.” This contradicting diction is also seen when the poet goes back after talking about all the nice stuff you can buy

In reviewing Vergil Suárez’s 1962 poem “Isla”‚ I find his use of imagery easy to relate to. The use of television shows such as The Three Stooges‚ Speed Racer‚ and Godzilla‚ to bring the reader to the level of the child by providing focal points which many can relate to is refreshing.
