Summary Of Junot Diaz's Drown '
Topic: Drown, chapter 3
This chapter of the book Drown, written by Junot Diaz is called Aurora. This is where the narrator tells the story of his encounters with sex and drugs.
He sells drugs on the streets to children and elderly people only, because he believes that by doing this it would save their business from unwanted trouble and the Police. He wanted to incorporate the drug business to make it bigger but his friend persuaded him not to expand because according to him it works better for the older people cause they are reliable that way. His sexual exploits surround a girl name Aurora. Aurora is a skinny young lady who is constantly in and out of the Juvenile center because she is a drug addict and gets caught by the Police quite

After a while the narrator was seeing less of Aurora as she was hanging out with new friends but he will still go to look for her even if she doesn’t want to see him.
The last time the narrator saw Aurora before she went back to the Juvenile Center, he found her outside hot with fever. She wanted him to go with her to her friend hacienda. He had a gut feeling that he shouldn’t go but he still did, he hope that she would change her mind and quit drugs because he know that if she did he would hold her forever and never let her go, but she did not change her mind. He waited outside the house for her listening to everything in his surroundings; waiting for her to come back but she never did.
The next time he heard from her she was writing him letters from the Juvenile Centre about how uncomfortable the place was and what else was going on with her inside the center. He wrote her back twice while she was there. When she was finally he went against the advice of his friend and met up with her again. “I got the Iron will, he said to cut. That Monday when they were together, although he knew they would soon be fighting again it felt like they were normal folks right then and there, he said he felt like everything was

    I think this quote means that she is really happy that her father is all finished with what he was doing, so now she can go back to her home. Although, she did have fun in the last month of their stay because of all the slumber parties that were thrown in her honor, yet she is still happy to be going home.

    The title The Drowner explores the main concerns of the novel through the different representations of ‘drowning’. As a result the title itself is a complex structure of the novel. According to Robert Drewe ‘as an occupation, drowning was somewhere between a trade and an art’3. However drowning is more than just an occupation, it is to Will a way of life and tradition. However Will is not a drowner but an engineer, and here it becomes symbolic of Will’s life. Although through his rationality he left behind drowning, he speculates that engineering is “in its hydraulic potential maybe just an extension of drowning”4That is, although through Angelica he enters a new world and life, drowning is symbolic of his past and continues to influence his present. Here the past is presented as an inherent part of life and an aspect of human frailty in the way that we succumb to it.…

    “After her father’s death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all”.(85) This statement allows the reader to understand that the main character is withdrawn from the world, but it does not explain why she has chosen to do so. If the author had used a different type of narrator the reader would have been supplied the information in a different manor; for example a first person narrator might have explained the reasons she chose not to go out. In doing so the ‘unknown’ portion would have been lost and the mystery would be less prominent.…
