Dialectical Journal Of The Relationship Between Papi And Mami

I think the title of this story connects openly with the characters’ situations in several ways. For instance, it connects with the characters’ situations in the sense that they were putting up with whatever life throws at them while remaining both hopeful and positive that one day their economic hardship and living conditions will change for the better as Papi will come for them. Regardless of Papi’s unfulfilled promises to them and what clearly was abandonment, they remained hopeful, for each time he writes saying he was coming for them, Mami would get excited and put up with his lies by believing him.
