Compare And Contrast Antonio's Perspective And How Ultima Faded From Life
Now that I have finished the novel my thoughts are directed towards the ending realization of Antonio’s perspectives and how Ultima faded from life. I thought the conversation between Antonio and his father during the car ride was quite interesting with the resolution of Antonio at last finding a way to forge himself from all perspectives. I liked how Gabriel explained how people can only understand for themselves from life experiences. I agree that we truly understand life from experiences and cannot understand just by what someone else tells us such as Antonio’s parents telling him there indifferent perspectives thinking he would understand. In the final chapter when Ultima is lying on her bed gradually fading from life after the murder

    The Return by Fernando Sorrentino

    The story overall was good even though it was predictable what was going to happen especially the major foreshadowing when the teacher says, “He didn't return to take revenge, though, but rather to be reincarnated in Adriana's child." After this was said I put rest of the story together with ease. Another good thing about this story was that after reading it you still have unanswered questions that have many answers to it. After reading all of The Return by Fernando Sorrentino, I thought nothing of it just a weird story, but then after doing some research I found out that during the same time and place as in the story, 1965-1979 in Argentina, UFO sightings were the highest they ever been and so were the number of people disappearing in Argentina. After figuring out this the story makes a little more sense.…

    Essay On Rudolfo Anaya's Writing Style

    In Bless Me, Ultima, the narrator is a young boy named Antonio who lives in a Spanish-speaking community. Anaya also incorporates many Spanish words such as “llano” to set the tone. Furthermore, instead of stating facts like Lee chooses to do, Anaya’s style goes from idea to idea, blending together with seemingly no plan of where it is going. The entire novel consists of Antonio’s river of thoughts, including his dreams and flashbacks. Along the way, Anaya adds many seemingly extraneous details, but later they will come into play. Anaya’s style also includes many flashbacks that will foreshadow events that are to come later. In Antonio’s early flashback, Anaya’s writing style is clearly shown when he flashes back to when he was…

    Essay On Bless Me Ultima

    By showing the struggles of Antonio’s day to day life Anaya gave the readers the experience of battling between the dreams of the adults and the children. This was mostly illustrated in the tussle that Antonio faced because of the pre-made future plans of his parents. His mother dreamed of him being a priest or a farmer like the Lunas, while his father dreamed of a life on the road with his kids. Parents tend to do this, conversely causing a battle in the head of their child; sometimes children must choose their own path.…

    I Like Me Ultima Reflection

    What I like about this novel is that it’s not like a novel that I have read before. I first want to remark that I like the time frame of the novel taking place during the Second World War and in the setting of New Mexico. I enjoy how the novel begins about a young boy who is conflicted with the pressures of parent opposed expectations. Needless to say, Antonio the main character has to grow up to be a man on his own without some kind of guidance from brothers who are away at war during the early chapters. However I like how Ultima becomes a mentor and supporting important character in his life. I also like some of the characters introduced throughout the novel such as of course Ultima, but also Narcisco. Although my enjoyment of the friendly…

    Persepolis And Patria Character Analysis

    On the surface, Patria is portrayed as the most mundane of the Mirabal sisters because she is very religious and family-oriented character. However, Alvarez uses these characteristics and emphasizes on the events that led up to her loss of faith in order to shape her motivations for joining the revolution. In the beginning of the novel, Patria had no interest in being part of the revolution. However, her views change when surprise invasion when she was on a religious retreat. During the explosions, Patria witnesses a traumatic event when she looks out the window and witnesses the death of a young boy. She relates to this boy as if he were her own son and the terrible scene had a profound impact on her. After this traumatic event, Patria began to doubt God’s ability to protect her and her family. In her narration, she says, “I'm not going to sit back and watch my babies die, Lord, even if that's what You in Your great wisdom decide” (Alvarez 162). This event had a compelling effect on this character in two aspects. In one aspect, since Alvarez emphasized on Patria loss of faith, she was able to to transform the character, Patria from an ordinary, religious woman into a strong member of the revolution. In another aspect, by highlighting this traumatic event in Patria’s life, Alvarez was able to create depth in…

    Santiago The Alchemist

    I feel Coelho did an amazing job with relating the characters and plot to the theme of this book. Aside from the fact that this book is very quotable, it is also very relatable. When the alchemist told Santiago, “People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them” (pg. 130), it resonated with me. I have the highest hopes of becoming a doctor, but sometimes I feel like I’m dreaming beyond my means or that I won’t have what it takes to make it. Yet, after finishing this book, I have a newfound sense of confidence. I think that’s what Coelho wanted his readers to have. He wanted them to know that if they have a dream, they should pursue it, because they would never know what could have happened if they didn’t. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is feeling unsure of themselves and their goals in life. Coelho will definitely change their…

    World lit - blood wedding

    To begin, Frederico Garcia Lorca uses atmosphere constantly throughout the play. Lorca aimed to create a brooding atmosphere of early 1900’s Spain. This time period was characterized by a patriarchal familial structure as well as a roman catholic worldview. The gender roles of the characters are heavily affected by this religious influence throughout the piece, as shown in how marriage and family life is portrayed in the work. During the 1920’s - 1930’s, the period portrayed in this piece, women had little to no rights and no ability to hold a job, so marriage and birthing children was seen as the main aspect of a womans life. As The Mother condescendingly stated “See if you can't raise me six grandchildren to make me happy.” as if child-bearing was the daughter’s sole purpose; and in this society, it very well might have been. The brooding atmosphere is first shown in the mothers tone and dialouge, “The knife, the knife! Damn the knife, damn all knives, damn the devil who created knives.” This negative diction is one of the first examples of the brooding atmosphere that surrounds the whole play. This is followed by another instance of a brooding, or serious, atmospheric tone by The Mother, "The killers are in…
