    Summary: The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao

    Mixing locations and time periods allowed Díaz to create a novel with high political and cultural significance. The characters challenge the social norms of their place and time, for example Lola presenting herself as a “Banshees-loving punk chick” to the dismay of her mother, and in a completely different time period Lola’s grandfather doing the unspeakable and challenging the rule of the Dominican dictator (54). For characters like Beli and Abelard, Oscar and Lola’s grandfather, their storylines draw on the impact that the government, especially the ruthless ruler, Trujillo, has on their lives. Further down the line though Oscar, Lola and Yunior do not have to live under a harsh dictatorship in the Dominican Republic, they do have to cope with the always-increasing social pressures of growing up in America as Hispanic immigrants, exhibiting the deviations in social and cultural aspects of life as time…

    Book Analysis: Dreaming in Cuba by Cristina Garcia

    In Christina Garcia's, Dreaming In Cuba, we read about three generations of a Cuban family torn apart by their environment. Political turmoil force the del Pino family to split and cause animosity amongst each other. It is centered on the complicated relationships and bonds between mother and daughter. Garcia expresses the story in a mixture of first and third person narration. This method paints a portrait to show the diverse mother-daughter relationship, allowing readers a multi-view perspective of not only bonds but also complications. The mothers of the story are portrayed to be the villains by their own daughters. We see this through three generations, Celia, her daughter Lourdes, and Lourdes daughter, Pilar. Interactions between mother and daughter headline the majority of the dialogue in Garcia's story. However, the fathers of the story are in the background and respected by their daughters. The story doesn't give too much insight on Lourdes father, Jorge or Pilar's father, Rufino. It's as if the most influential parents are despised, while the fathers are praised. Pilar, the protagonist, travels down a similar road her mother traveled. Pilar wants to be nothing like her mother.…

    A Place Where the Sea Remembers - Browse Essays

    This novel really stirred my emotions, especially in the beginning. For example, Candelario works at a restaurant owned by a man named Don Gustavo. Candelario is the salad maker and what taught, by Don Gustavo himself, how to make a perfect Caesar salad for his customers. The doctor and his wife came in and both ordered salads and Candelario made the salads exactly to Don’s instructions, but the customers were not pleased. Since they were not pleased Don fired Gustavo on the spot that night. This made me very angered with Don and people like Don.

    Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

    The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is not a happy book. The Author, Junot Diaz, does a great job fooling the reader into believing the story is about the De Leon family, specifically Oscar who is an over weight nerd trying to find the love of his life, but due to a family “fuku” or curse Oscar is having a lot of trouble doing so. Instead, the story actually portrays the dark history of the Dominican Republic under the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Upon reading the stories of Oscar’s relatives the reader feels a powerful message of fear and oppression due to the actions of the Trujillo regime. Even after the demise of Trujillo, people were so accustomed to the lifestyle they had to live during his regime, that Trujillo’s practices and dictator concepts still existed and is portrayed by Oscars run in with the captain after his relationship with Ybon.…
