As a result, she wanted to provide a better and memorable childhood for her children by educating them in a better way. For instance, by showing and transmit them love and at the same time doing so with other people and animals.

  • Doña Guadalupe of Rain of Gold, by Victor Villasenor

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    Doña Guadalupe is a woman of great strength and power, power and strength which she draws from her devout faith and her deep and loving compassion for her family, and power and strength which is passed down to her children. “‘Well, then, come in,’ she said, deciding that she could be handle this innocent-girl-stealing coyote inside. On going into the long tent, Salvador felt like he’d entered the web of a spider, the old woman was eyeing him so deliberately” (360). Doña Guadalupe is a very protective woman, which is extremely speculative when it comes to her children, this is especially true when it comes to boys, because she has not gone this far only for all of her hard work to be ruined by a no good boy. This shows how protective she is, she loves her family, and especially her kids so much that they themselves must pass her test before being able to pass on to her children. “The newborns were moving, squirming, reaching out for life. It was truly a sign from God” (58). Doña Guadalupe is also a very devout and faithful person. She sees God in everything and in everyone and by that fact, what she sees and who she sees is true, and she tries to be a model of clairvoyance for the family. “Doña Guadalupe put the baby’s little feet in a bowel of warm water, and the child clinging to his mother. He never cried, listening to her heartbeat, the same music that he’d heard from inside the womb” (57). Finally, Doña Guadalupe is very passionate which allows for a great model upon which her children follow. This further shows how she is clearly th...

  • The Mother Tongue by Demetria Martinez

    2546 Words  | 6 Pages

    Demetria Martínez’s Mother Tongue is divided into five sections and an epilogue. The first three parts of the text present Mary/ María’s, the narrator, recollection of the time when she was nineteen and met José Luis, a refuge from El Salvador, for the first time. The forth and fifth parts, chronologically, go back to her tragic experience when she was seven years old and then her trip to El Salvador with her son, the fruit of her romance with José Luis, twenty years after she met José Luis. And finally the epilogue consists a letter from José Luis to Mary/ María after her trip to El Salvador. The essay traces the development of Mother Tongue’s principal protagonists, María/ Mary. With a close reading of the text, I argue how the forth chapter, namely the domestic abuse scene, functions as a pivotal point in the Mother Tongue as it helps her to define herself.

We were able to explore outside and make up games to play with other kids. When it rain and snow me and my sister will use our imagination and create games such as house or school. My parents didn 't control our childhood they didn 't create activities, nor tell me what to do with our free time. I was pretty much free. But as I got older, parents started to be involved in my life and started to plan my future. The concepts of the worldviews, biases, and assumptions that are used in the text is that parents make it difficult for their children to interact with their surroundings because it ends with the consequences. Ellen claims that a child should learn how to use their imagination instead of following the rules. The worldviews that are found in my personal and education life is that the author’s perspective about how she see the world relates to

  • Women in Latin America

    Angela's friends assured her that “They only believe what they see on the sheet..and they taught her old wives tricks to feign her lost possession” (Garcia Marquez, 38). Unfortunately, Angela was ill-advised by her friends and San Roman was not fooled the night of their wedding. Being a man of high expectations, San Roman did not settle for his impure wife, as Angela's friends had suggested he might, rather he marched her back to her parents' home and simply returned her- as if she was a purchase he could merely give back. Angela's actions brought shame and dishonor upon her family. What Angela did was so reprehensible for that time period in Latin America that her mother spent the two hours following Angela's return home holding her by the hair and beating her with such rage that Angela thought her mother was going to kill her (Garcia Marquez 46)....

  • Literary Criticism Of The Birthmark

    1018 Words  | 3 Pages

    The more I got to read “The Story of an Hour”, “Desiree’s baby”, “The Birthmark”, and “The Cask of Amontillado” , the more I start having a sickness in my heart, but thanks God these stories are not real. In fact, the cruel events might not happened to Mrs. Mallard, Desiree, Georgiana, or Fortunato. However, it was a reality for some people at that time, both history and author’s style of thinking prove it. Historically speaking, we know for a fact that struggle, racism, women abuse, and crimes were very common back in the 19th Century. Moreover, by reading those stories we can react and feel differently, we tend to be more sensitive and emotional about the hardships and oppression faced by characters especially women and non-white people. By analyzing “The Birthmark” written by Nathaniel Hawthorne we can feel what Georgiana had to go through. It is very important to analyze Aylmer’s relationship with his wife
