Her tone emphasized the depressing nature of the situation and the disappointment of losing everything and the treatment receive in the USA. Her tone of depression and disappointment emphasizes the pain she experienced because of the judgment in America. As her essay comes to a close her tone shifts to hopeful and relaxed. Alvarez is accepted into America “through the wide doors of its literature.” Her introduction to literature allowed her to begin to feel accepted into society. Since Alvarez is accepted into society because of her assimilation through literature she becomes hopeful for her new prospect and relaxed to finally be understood. Overall, the tone shift from depressed and disappointed to hopeful and relaxed is significant because it emphasizes the central idea of mistreatment occurring within a new society and leads to acceptance with assimilation.…

    Too Many Tamales Poem By Gary Soto

    Since there are not many books that focus on the Latino, or the Chicano, culture, he tries to write stories so children, who are from that background, could see their selves and could actually relate to the stories that they were reading. After he made this discovery, Soto wrote children books such as “Too Many Tamales” where the protagonist, Maria, is helping her family make tamales for her mother’s wedding. While they were cooking they let Maria see her mother’s wedding ring and Maria loses the ring in one of the many tamales that they were making (Too Many Tamales, Putnam). In another one of his books “Novio Boy” His main character, Rudy, is taking a girl, Patricia, out on a date and he goes to one of his friends to seek dating advice. Later on he realizes that he does not have enough money to take her out on the date that he would want to (Novio Boy, Putnam). By writing books of the genre, Soto is trying to help connect his writing with a day in a typical Childs life, and even though this book was written in the 1990’s it still applies to today’s teenagers. He is letting children and teenagers know that mistakes happen and we will encounter problems, however, we will get through them. While in an interview Soto once stated how he “believed that the connection Latino teens feel to his work is mainly one of pride” (Gary Soto, Ted Fabiano,). Although Mexican Americans do not have an extensive…

    First Person Narration In Hunger Of Memory By Richard Rodriguez

    Rodriguez’s use of first person narration goes hand in hand with his establishment of ethos within his essay. Ethos is considered the moral element of literature and the credibility of the speaker. The use of ethos often determines whether or not the audience of a piece will trust the thoughts and actions of the speaker. By using pronouns such as “I” and “we,” in reference to both himself and his family, it allows the audience to gain first-hand accounts of a young Hispanic boy in a new American society. Rather than reading statistics of the number of children whose first language is not English and their success in the American education system, or…

    Pedro Lopez

    It is within human nature to feel as though one can label a person as good or bad without fully knowing that person. Serial killers are a type of species presumed to be inherently evil and more flawed then the devil himself. This definition of serial killers is widely accepted among different nations because as a whole the people of the world genuinely agree on what is coherently good as well as what is coherently evil. Thanks to universal coverage and bias opinion which is divulged by the media most people have difficulties seeing serial killers in any other light besides the root of all evil. Something not quite understood by people is the lack of morality which is evident in all, not just serial killers. Sadly enough in today's society forgiveness is not something easy to gain and in order for it to be sincere the past must be forgotten, something even more difficult to achieve than equality. Considering that most, if not all, serial killers follow through with their actions based on some form of chemical inequality within their brain; it seems to make no sense as to why the human population would judge them any more than they would judge a person with autism. Modern day views on serial killers have been produced from the world's lack of knowledge within the psychology field from the start. Before people were given the correct information as to why serial killers killed people it was assumed that they were simply horrid people who must be killed. Now more is known about the psychological issues serial killers experience which causes them to pursue certain actions allowing for their reasoning to be somewhat understood by all. Serial killer Pedro López, although, had a different and more disturbed childhood than most serial killers which is thought to have lead to his type of crime. Like most "normal" people Pedro López was unable to forget the past of revise it in any way. The trauma Pedro López faced as a child caused psychological issues upon him, beginning…
