Rosuara's Nonsense
When leaving a party, take what comes, others don’t that much, of even the party favors at the end. Some people are living off of $2 a day. They don’t get party favors at the end of parties. They don’t even get real parties. So when handed something at the end of a party, take it. It’s worth it.
“‘Monkeys at a birthday?’ she said. ‘Get away with you, believing any nonsense you’re told!’” page one paragraph five. Rosuara’s mother was telling her that monkeys at a party was nonsense, and that Rosuara going to that party and believing that she was invited as a guest was nonsense, and her mother knew that. Some might say this is about Rosuara’s mom teaching her a life lesson. About how she was only invited because she was the maid’s daughter. Not a friend of Luciana’s. Some might say this is about Rosuara’s mother teaching her a life lesson, how Rosuara was only invited because she was the maid’s daughter. At the party, Rosuara

Since the monkey and Rosuara are represented in the same way, her mother didn’t want her going to be out of place. Rosuara looking “terribly pretty,” as the author put it, and admiring herself, and the monkey being admired by the children. Rosuara had been admiring herself because of her beautiful white Christmas dress, which was starched, and her glossy hair. She wasn’t the only one who had been admiring herself, Senora Ines had been admiring Rosuara too. The monkey had been admired because he was a creature none of the children had ever seen before, at least in real life. Everyone wanted to hold him. The monkey hadn’t been freaking out in anybody’s arms, but everybody seemed to be afraid to hold him. Rosuara hadn’t been afraid to hold him. She held him and didn’t freak out when the monkey disappeared and reappeared in her arms. With this supported evidence from Liliana Heker, some believe that it’s okay to say that Rosuara is clearly represented in the

    In comparing The Grimm Brother’s “Little Red Cap” and Sharon Singer’s paintings of the infamous little red riding hood story, there are numerous similarities to be found. Singer’s painting “Fast Food”, depicts a dark and uncanny scene in which naked doll lies at the foot of bloody wolf paws. The naked doll in Singer’s bleak painting represents the vulnerability of Little Red Cap during her encounters with the wolf. Little Red Cap description as a “dear little girl” who was loved by anyone who “set eyes on her” works into Little Red Cap’s childish aurora connected by Singer’s naked doll (Tatar 13). The Grimm Brothers explain Little Red Cap “had no idea what a wicked beast [the wolf] was” during their first meeting, which characterizes Little Red Cap as a helpless and harmless young girl, with no knowledge of the dangers of society, such as a child (Tatar 14). Therefore, assessing Little Red Cap defenseless and innocent nature, there is a connection portrayed through the unclothed doll that lies at the foot of the wolf. In the painting from Singer, the wolf’s bloody paws are also seen under a red cloth, which can be concluded as two things from the story. One, the red cloth is Little Red Cap’s…

    She busies herself with social activities and the raising of her two boys (148). Nevertheless, something is terribly wrong. Irene’s perfect world is shaken while en route to the printing shop. Irene begins to voice her concerns about “queer ideas” (sex jokes) that the boys had been coming up with (105). “If sex isn”t a joke, what is it,” Brian [her husband] answers (105). He goes on to say “the sooner and more he (their son) learns about sex, the better for him.....it will keep him from lots of disappointments later on” (105). We see with Brian’s response to her question that to him, sex is a joke. His statement indicates to us that his sex life with Irene is a huge joke. As we later learn in the book, Brian and Irene have a “sexless marriage” and that Brian “slept in his room next to hers at night” (179). This confirms Irene and Brian’s lack of a sexual relationship. In Passing, sex is a point of contention for everyone in the story. Sex is a forbidden and terrifying thing for young ladies in the book who are passing. In Clare’s case, there is fear. Fear that a black child may be conceived and her secret may be revealed. For Irene, sex is risky. She has set up such a perfect lifestyle with her husband and two kids that another child could threaten to ruin that. For Irene, her marriage is one of convenience, providing her with what she needs and values the most, security (200). It also…

    After reading the story twice I was able to understand how the first sentence of the story encompasses the story as a whole. The first sentence refers to how the narrator perceives adults as people who are constantly changing things with complete disregard to kids and their feelings. In my opinion, the author’s intent is to share the narrator’s strong opinion towards adults and towards her own personal feelings about herself and her beliefs. The narrator has a very strong spirit about her which becomes apparent very quickly, and is present throughout the entire story. The story begins with Hazel (the narrator) explaining one of the characters has decided to change his name back to his original name because he wants to get married.…

    She is pretty, but moderately pretty, not overdone or arrogant. The husband, however, has a "round, self-satisfied face." He is haughty and overconfident. The reader recognizes his self-centeredness and demeans him for it. The reader is told that the woman provides a "small but glossy birthday cake" for her husband's "Occasion." There is "one pink candle" in the center of the cake. The cake's appearance parallels with that of the wife's. Both are small and modest yet in their own way appealing. The wife has supplied a "little surprise" for the one she loves and she is very proud of it. The others dining at the restaurant react with a "pattering of applause" to support the woman and encourage her. The reader echoes this applause in his own mind in order to also help the woman. However, the reader at once discovers that the man "was not pleased." Brush then quotes the thoughts of the reader towards the husband's behavior with the reaction of "Oh, now, don't be like that." The author uses the words that she knows are in the mind of the reader. The woman is then seen to be crying "all to herself." Her husband has deserted her and she is left alone "under the gay big brim of her best…

    The central idea in this story seems to be the mother’s search of an understanding of her daughter’s personality and outlook on life. The majority of the story is the mother trying to depict reasons for why her daughter is the way she is, so delicate, reserved, needless, and even unhappy at times. She seems to also defend her parenting choices by making excuses or blaming the urges of others in order to not have all the blame on her. She speaks about how she had no other option but to put her in the care of someone else at the age of two, even though she knew the teacher was “evil” (Pg. 925). “It was the only place there was…the only way I could hold a job” (pg. 925).…
