“Just Lather, That’s all” has a double meaning into it. The literal meaning is focusing into one of the things he (the character that we follow in first person) does since he’s a barber and also the word lather also means to be agitated or worked up. I think the part when Captain Torres answered the question of how many people did he catch because I think that would have given motive to decide to kill him. Also, after the question is answered he starts to narrate more about what he feels and what he's thinking unlike before where he described then environment around him, he still does describe the environment around him, but it's more related towards his anxiety. I think when the barber applies the first layer of soap on Captain Torres'
In regards to the narrative style Garcia Marquez used in this scene I believe he used hyperbole, imagery and allegory. First, one can notice the use of hyperbole when the reader finds out that there has been more than three thousand people dead from the massacre. From my perspective the number of dead people is an exaggeration to cause a powerful emotion on the readers. Then, the author used imagery to describe this scene: “Suddenly, on one side of the station, a cry of death tore open the enchantment:
Despite the efforts of the community to make the ranch feel like home, Josey struggles with this transition. It is too similar to the life he once had. Josey tries to adjust to this community, however, he is reminded of his family and his untimate pursit of vengeance agaist the men who killed his family. Josey recognizes that this ranch is a symbol of a new life, but in order to enjoy this he must first take of what is important to him. Josey is a wanted man and the longer he lingers around this community without killing off those men after him, he puts their life in danger. This is one of many honorable acts of Josey. He knows that he man not live on to see the further development of his new community, but he is still willing to fight for the sake of avenging his family and saving their lives.
...g the various reports concerning his father’s suicide, he is drinking, sweating and crying. The full impact of what his father had done to him finally hits him. “What the hell do you mean there were no others involved? I screamed. What were we, chorizo con huevos? No, the sneering voice in my poisoned mind explained, you were chorizo without huevos.” (78 ) Ricky cries out that he was left with his mother and sisters to raise him and he believes he was raised as a weak man. “…and because of your stupid, dramatic abandonment I’ve become a drunken, drug-abusing misfit.” (78 )
His idea was basically is just to forget it. He looked at his mother growing up who left his father and married someone moved into a white community and totally disregarded her whole heritage. So he grew up not caring almost. Except when he gets thrown in the hole for the first time for a long period time he had sometime to think about his past. During this time he comes in peace with his culture. This is because he just sat there and thought and he realized that he's got all his emotions and feelings from his culture. He then sat down and wrote the poem “Immigrants in Our Own Land”. In this poem he speaks about the hardship the mexicans go through to get citizenship in this country. They come to this country for a better life, “we are born with dreams in our hearts, looking for better days ahead” (“Immigrants”). In his memoir Baca explains how his young life has prepared him for prison in the long run. He explains how he learned how to develop a stare that would intimidate other inmate. Also how to join a group and think of himself as against others. The exact quote would be "It was at the detention center that I first learned how to intimidate others with my stare, how to lie to the
... under any immediate danger (Téllez). Even though Captain Torres is very close to the barber, he is in a position of disadvantage because he is disarmed and he is retrained by the sheet that the barber put on him (Téllez). The proximity of the killer to their victim creates circumstances in which forces one to kill or allows one to not kill.
It shows him getting on an unsafe boat, and attempting to get to Mexico. I found it interesting that he kept referring to god because he believed that god had also gone on the same journey. This ended up giving him the strength to succeed. Soon after they showed us the Arizona immigration experts whose job is to help find the dead bodies of people who attempted to get to the U.S illegally from Latin American countries. The role of the Arizona immigration group was to find the real identiity of the man they were calling Dayani Cristal. During the documentary they took the viewer through the process of identifying the bodies and how they handle the communication between the U.S.A and the country that the dead person is coming from. A quote I remember hearing is “sadly, many are not identified.” This quote represented the harsh truth of immigration to the U.S.A. The reason they used the man who they identified as Dayani Cristal as an example was because he had a tattoo. When they were attempting to identify Dayani Cristal, they weren’t sure where he came from, or what his actual name was. This is where the Mexican and Honduran consulate came in. First the Immigration experts spoke to the Mexican consulate because this is where the majority of immigrants come from. After they determined that there were no missing Mexican men with his description, they called the Honduran consulate. The fact that they were able to find that the man was from Honduras, was one of the few times that they were able to identify a dead person that attempted to cross the
...f that Ricardo and his town are the superior heroes in the story. The crowd’s lack of ostentation characterizes them as a humble dwellers living in an unpretentious town. Through positive reinforcement, the crowd, with the help of the policeman, urges Ricardo to continue to oppose the invading photographer and his hive of cohorts.

Blanco talks about real life events that have happened. He speaks of the daily life of kids riding to school on buses, people heading to work, whether it’s the teachers, restaurant workers, grocery clerks or
...all want to believe that the crime was truly “foretold”, and that nothing could have been done to change that, each one of the characters share in a part of Santiago Nasar’s death. Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes about the true selfishness and ignorance that people have today. Everyone waits for someone else to step in and take the lead so something dreadful can be prevented or stopped. What people still do not notice is that if everyone was to stand back and wait for others, who is going to be the one who decides to do something? People don’t care who gets hurt, as long as it’s not themselves, like Angela Vicario, while other try to reassure themselves by thinking that they did all that they could, like Colonel Lazaro Aponte and Clotilde Armenta. And finally, some people try to fight for something necessary, but lose track of what they set out for in the first place.
...tity, Molina when he finds someone who accepts his true identity. In both cases, they find the affirmation that was previously denied to them as a result of an oppressive society. The death here is a death of the self, the repressed self.
“The Shampoo” by Elizabeth Bishop was written near the beginning of Bishop’s residence in Brazil and is a direct homage to her lover Lota. Even though Lota is not directly addressed in the poem, an earlier draft of the poem reveals a connection to her longtime lover. Bishop uses the mundane act of washing a loved one’s hair as the basis for a brilliant meditation on the nature and progression of time. In “The Shampoo” Elizabeth Bishop uses imagery of nature, metaphor of time, and deliberate diction to compare the gradual movements in nature over time with the process of aging. Bishop draws a contrast between the process of aging and the timeless relationship she has with
The moment he felt Curley¡¦s wife moving away, he acted on his inner feelings and he was frightened. The scene portrayed a good example of the interaction of two complete strangers, it was interesting to see how they shared things and opened up to each other.Part Two:This scene is related to the theme in different ways. I think that it incorporates three main aspects of the theme. It is related to belonging, loneliness and dreams.
