Here they are in a nutshell - first it starts with Maria as an older woman who is now relieving her memories of the summer Jose Luis entered her life.

Martinez gives us a chance to really get a closer look into the bigger picture of the story because we get to here it from so many different voices.…

    " Advancing in his studies, the boy notices that his mother and father have not changed as much as he." (341) That is another strain on Rodriguez and his family. He does not feel he can relate with his parents. He feels too different. He goes from loving his parents to admiring his teachers more because he feels he can relate to them on a more personal and higher level. His family can not understand his as well as he wants and that leads to frustration. His frustration then leads to embarrassment. "He permits himself embarrassment at the lack of education. And to evade nostalgia for the life he has lost,he concentrates on the benefits education will bestow on him." (341) Rodriguez was more assured in the classroom and learned that if he followed the rules and studied hard he would become more successful than his parents. His want to become more successful leads him to almost a power hungry state. His family did not understand his want to be better and considered it obsessive. He saw their feelings and would become hurt at their lack of wanting to better their minds which would make him feel even more excluded from his…

She has always been a part of his life, so much that he "could not remember a time when Maria was not a part of the family (15).When Miguel Chico is a child, Maria plays with him, takes him to mass, praises him and scolds him. She practically raises him, and she has extraordinary influence over him. When she tells him his mother will die, he "believed Maria" (19). Miguel Chico trusts her completely, believing her through his fear. Maria is one of the most important figures in Miguel Chico's childhood, and he felt closer to her than possibly any other adult around him.…

    Rodriguez faces a few tensions in his personal experience such as being a "scholarship boy" as oppose to a well rounded student and and his life at home compared to a more friendly home environment. Rodriguez says that "I was a very good student, I was a also a very bad student. I was a scholarship boy, a certain kind of scholarship boy. Always successful, I was always unconfident. Exhilarated by my progress. Sad. I became the prized student - anxious and eager to learn. Too eager, too anxious - an imitative and unoriginal pupil." ( Rodrigues #283 ) Rodriguez describes himself here as imitating his teachers too much and being a perfect student instead of thinking for himself and taking in the knowledge he is given by his teachers and analyzing it and putting it to use. He is unoriginal and and uninteresting compared to a student who can use their knowledge in their own way and gets more involved. The other tension Rodriguez faces his the tension he has with his family, mostly his mother and father. At home his mother and father both support and encourage what he is doing very much but they didn't like the fact that he would always be in his room and the fact that the only thing he was involved with was school. "He permits himself embarrassment at their lack of education." (Rodriguez #286) This quote shows that Rodriguez's amount of knowledge of the english language and other subjects he had compared to his parents and therefore he was somewhat embarrassed by them and it created a tough home environment to live in because he didn't communicate much with his parents. This contrasts the home environment where their is a strong relationship between the family and their is communication.…

    Life Interview Review

    • 3173 Words
    • 13 Pages

    When I saw Ms. Mary Walker, the word “Old” does not even cross my mind. I was very surprised when I found out her age. It seemed strange that a woman of this age could show so much youth, little wrinkles, mobility, and did not cough every ten seconds as an indicator of good health. Identifying her as an individual in the 68 + age range seemed misleading but a glance at her salt and pepper afro provided some proof. A natural inquisitiveness in me wanted to know her secret. Luckily, I was given an assignment that appeared to be perfectly suitable to ask all the right questions-A Life Review. I had seen Ms. Walker several times in my childhood. We attended the same church, I met some of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, but I knew little about her life journey. One day I asked my grandmother to mention to her that I wanted to interview her for an assignment. With the relief of not being let down, my grandmother gave me her contact number the next day. A few days later, I called her to make sure that she was still interested. With the right reply, I scheduled a day when we could meet and have breakfast. That day came on August 10, 2012 at a restaurant called International House of Pancakes (IHOP). She entered the restaurant door free of prosthetic devices- another sign of good health. A woman of African American decent who stood 5’7 wearing a slightly nervous yet cheerful expression greeted me. “It’s nice to see, Aminata. Why haven’t I seen you in church lately?” The answer to her question would result in a bunch of made up excuses. This was the perfect time to redirect and focus on the assignment that brought us together to complete “The Life Review of Ms. Mary Walker”.…
