A Brief Summary On Castillo
The repetition that Castillo uses to describe the abnormal situations happening in this family constantly reminds the readers how the family gets through their highs and their lows. Castillo would repeat all throughout the first few chapters that La Loca prays for the family, she talks to God and ask him for his help to keep his family strong. Castillo would also repeatedly inform the readers of certain occasions each of the sisters been through. For example, La Loca and her accident that happened as a baby is always reminded to the audience. Because that is a key component to the story and to why the family gets through these terrible situations, it is important that we do not forget what happened to the family early in the story.

    Enrique's Journey Case Study

    The only thing that is keeping Lourdes from giving up is the fantasy of being whole, happy, and well off with all of her children by her side. This fantasy will soon shatter when Lourdes and Enrique are finally united, and she can see how the decision she made to leave many years ago to find prosperity has played out in reality. Overall, the family unit itself was broken, and this is one of Nazario 's overall points. Enrique continues to enable his broken family when he asks Maria Isabel to join him, risking starting the same cycle of abandonment with his own daughter, suggesting that these decisions are not easily criticized, but rather must be considered as one of many factors at risk in the immigration debate. Nazario explains, “How some children grow into restless adults, who are never able to forgive their parent(s) for leaving them. Others, like Enrique, try to overlook the past and move toward a brighter future; however, their lives are often marked by addiction or other coping methods.” (Nazario,2013). “The true irony is the fact that the mothers originally left their country and children to help keep their family intact.” (Nazario, 2013). At the time little did they realize the…

Although there is not much documented on his life before the outbreak of war, it is without a doubt that he was once a bandit on the run from the law (Quintana 8). His days of being an outlaw would eventually shape him and give him the experience he needed to become one of the greatest revolutionary leaders of his time (Katz 88).…

    The greatest symbolism that the reader finds in the novel is Esch’s body. Esch is the eldest sister of her siblings. She gets pregnant with Manny’s child, and the reader finds that she views the world through her bodily existence. She wants to touch the world, see it, hear it, taste it, and smell it, in order to love it. The bodily existence of everything is important to her. She says, “For though I’m small, I know many things/ And my body is an endless eye/ Through which, unfortunately, I see everything” (Ward 66). Esch calls her body an endless eye, with which she sees hunger, poverty, dog fights, devastation, accidents, thefts, and finally, the Hurricane. She has seen how it is being motherless, and now she is experiencing the pregnancy from a man who has fallen in love with another woman. So, her body has also made her seen un-faithfulness from somebody she loved. She describes her brother’s muscles, dogfights, and hunger in such a descriptive language that the reader feels as if he is seeing over her shoulders into her world. The reader finds that Esch narrates about her world through instinctive vision, making a blend of what she sees around her and her instinctive thoughts, and describes that blend through symbolic, evocative language.…

    Legend Theme

    There are many themes in Legend by Marie Lu, but the one that stands out the most is that family comes first. First, on page 43, the text says, “‘You’re not going to leave me, too, are you? You’ll stay with me longer than mom and dad did?’ Metias kissed me on the forehead. ‘Forever and ever, kid, until you’re sick and tired of seeing me.’” This flashback displays how Metias raises June as though she is his own child due to the death of their parents. This is also a great example of how families adapt and guide each other through rough times. Second, on page 114, it says, “‘Tess. Is she your younger sister?’ I hesitate. ‘Yeah, close enough.’” Tess and Day have lived on the streets for so long together that they are practically family. Family…
