Amigo Brothers Analysis
Amigo Brothers In the reading ‘Amigos Brothers’ by Piri Thomas it has a story about two boys named Antonio and Felix ,they are best friends. They both wanted be champions on being boxers and turned out fighting each other. In this story it has many literary terms (mood,author's point of view,ect.) The author’s intent/purpose is to entertain the reader.It entertains the reader by showing the conflict between the two characters,Felix and Antonio.It shows how both characters have to fight in a boxing match.It shows every movement they take like”Antonio struggled up his feet,got up,ducked,and threw a smashing right that dropped felix on his back.” That really entertained me as a reader, and was one of the key points that made me say Antonio

    Antonio's second dream is also very important. Antonio is dreaming of his three brothers. They are all describing different parts of their father's dream and hope to travel and build. It is obvious that Antonio's brothers share the Marez blood with their father, but in his dream they also tell Antonio that he is a Luna (his mother's side of the family). Then his brothers become scared when they hear the cry of the river, and they say that it is the soul of Lupito calling to them so they ran away. However, Antonio shouts after them saying it is just the soul of the river. His brothers then call him for his help, so Antonio asks the river to grant his brothers their wish: to leave and build their castle on the hill. At the end of the dream Antonio's mother cries as she realizes that Antonia is growing older. Antonio has already seen the future with this dream. However, at this point in the novel his brothers have not even returned home from the war, but he knows that they will leave again right when they get home. He has also seen that there is a power in the river, and most people would consider it harmful. However, he realized that it may be a helpful power. He already feels his…

    The time period from 1955 to 1975 was a rough time for America. America was in the middle of the Vietnam War, and was a very hard war for America because the soldiers had no support for the war effort from home. The public could not see the reason for the war, and therefore did not support it, and because of this led to America’s first punch in the gut from communism. Along with every war comes the many heartfelt photos and stories of their countries soldiers fighting in the name of their country that show the public what the soldiers have to go through to fight the war. The photographer Larry Burrows captures many astonishing images of these soldiers in the Vietnam War to show the public that they should support the troops fighting for what America stands for. Despite all of his hard work and the risks he took to take the pictures the American public still rejected the belief that America’s involvement in Vietnam was for a good cause.…

    In the Novel “Argo”, the author, Antonio Mendez communicates to the reader that in order to pull off inconceivable acts of contrivance, one must think outside the box. Many people think that crazy and unusual plans never work (especially when dealing with an exfiltration). Their understanding is that when one goes with the ordinary they have a better chance of slipping under the radar. This book helps to disprove that theory by showing its readers the ways a plan can work when it goes bigger and bolder than the ordinary. The book also goes beyond schemes and helps the reader to realize this theme through its profound drama and real life events. Its intensity highlights the seriousness and risk involved with taking chances, but also shows…

    Paret's Diction Essay

    • 623 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The author describes the fight scene in dramatic, brilliant words, such as how the Griffith “came alive and [dominated] Paret.” Additionally, because of the author’s use of diction, the tempo of the piece is affected. To the reader, the piece reads much faster than it actually is. This effect is broadened by the author’s imagery, such as when the author describes Griffith as “a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat.” Or when he describes Griffith’s motions as a “piston rod which has broken through the crankcase, or like a baseball bat demolishing a pumpkin.” These are very violent words that the author uses to describe the fight, and therefore, makes the piece flow much faster. In addition to the tempo of piece getting affected, the reader also develops sympathy for Paret. The reader feels bad for Paret because of how the author developed his character in the fist paragraph. The imagery that the author uses makes the reader feel as if he or she is actually there, watching the match. Furthermore, in the middle of the second paragraph the author switches from third person to first person, in effect, it allows the reader to place themselves in the audience and become part of the…

    The theme of identity is presented in Ruldolfo Anaya’s Alburquerque. Chapter 5 presents the theme of identity in great detail as we explore the characters' cultural and personal identities. The chapter discusses the characters' personal identities, focusing especially on those of Ben Chávez and Frank Dominic. We first witness Ben's internal conflicts as he thinks back on his past, his relationships, and his regret and guilt as Anaya states, “He remembered the day she told him about the baby. The event was etched in his memory.…

    Antonio’s dreams provide vivid imagery of what he sees. Throughout the novel, he experiences many dreams. The imagery involved within his dreams allows the reader to connect with Antonio and visualize the dreams as if they were there, living them. In his first dream he “flew over the rolling hills of the llano. My soul wandered over the dark plains until it came to a cluster of adobe huts” (Anaya 5). This was the dream of his birth, and it gives the readers the landscape imagery of the area he lives in. It allows the reader to imagine what the state of New Mexico looked like around the end of…

    Brother Doodle Analysis

    Brother is guilty because he left Doodle. I think Brother is guilty because he in the mud when he fell. The reason I say this is because Brother was technically “in charge” or “taking care” of Doodle at the time of his death. Another reason I say this, for example is because he always had Doodle with him because their Mother made Brother take Doodle along with him. He might not have liked this so he decided that enough was enough and made the plans to leave him out in the mud. So knowing he was faster than Doodle, He ran away and left him in the mud when he fell.…

    When we think of childhood, most of us have an image embedded in our minds of a place blessed with ceaseless joy and happiness. It’s a time in our life during which an individual is free of responsibilities but subsequently begins to learn right from wrong. Bless Me, Ultima by Ruldolfo Anaya, however, offers a differing viewpoint on childhood and adolescence; one denoted by an inauguration into adulthood and maturity. Antonio Márez, the protagonist of Bless Me, Ultima, is a six year old boy whose childhood is marked by many conflicts and events that administer a lasting impact on his life. Ruldolfo Anaya, through the character of Antonio and his brothers, presents to the reader a childhood marked by a loss of innocence and progression into adulthood through the development of moral independence, expectations from family and culture of what one has to become in the future, and development of the judgment of what is good and what is evil/or a sin. Through the culmination of these three factors, we can see how Anaya’s representation of childhood contributes to the meaning of this fine piece of literature, which is one of a transition from innocence to experience through moral independence.…
