    Gary Soto Tone

    Not many people can recreate what life was like in a Spanish speaking, neighborhood, barrio, like Gary Soto. Gary Soto was born in Fresno, California to working-class Mexican-American parents in 1952. Soto’s father died when he was 5 years old from a work accident. Soto used this tragedy to help him write later on in life. He grew up working in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley and in factories, so a lot of his poetry is based on everyday experiences for Mexican-Americans like racism, identity and poverty. Soto’s poetry has a narrative quality and usually feels like a story. Many of Soto’s poems are a recreation of his own past that can transcend down to any generation. One characteristic of Soto’s poem’s is the use of Chicano words which…

    No one will ever have a perfect life, there will always be ups and downs. No matter how hard you try to make your life perfect it will not be, but you can make the not so great parts better.

After his father’s death, his life was not great, it was shown so much in his regular life and in his professional life. Forgetting about his rough past he was such a brilliant poet and wrote so many short stories and poems right after another, knowing so much to write about based on those memories. His poems are so entertaining and at the same time, they tell you a lot about his life. Soto’s background life in Fresno, his devastating memories and his thoughtfulness…

    Freud and Tillich

    S. Freud’s The Future Illusion and P. Tillich’s Religion as a Dimension in Man’s Spiritual Life carry on about an important question of what religion really is, what is its meaning in a cultural, psychological and scientific aspect and how it relates to a society and an individual. In this paper I will try to prove through an analysis and comparison of both texts that although their approach to the subject is different they both regard religion as an important aspect of human life. Freud in Illusion touches on things that to some may be an unquestionable truths; a meaning of life, a reason to be a good citizen - a good human being. Freud strips religion of its “holiness” but not of its power over a culture and a human life. He argues that religion in its essence is nothing more than an illusion - a wishful thinking based on a subconscious hope for a reward (the afterlife). According to Freud, religion is an aspect of culture - civilization, defending us against nature and each other. Civilization is a necessity that was socially constructed in order to explain and control the unknown and scary forces of the world but more importantly to cage our primal desires of: incest, murder, cannibalism which lay deeply in our unconscious. Therefore, to save humanity civilization created laws. At first the forces of nature were given human characteristics to make the assimilation easier and simpler to comprehend. The so called totemism was clear and understandable serving a purpose of control and protection from the environment and ourselves. But who would obey the laws if there was no fear of punishment for doing wrong and a reward for doing good. That is when religion came in handy.…

    Gary Soto's Looking For Work

    Is it possible for people to make comments about me for who I am as a person and not my outer appearance? This is the question I constantly asked myself everyday because most of the time I am bombarded with criticisms on how I looked. To put it bluntly, I, myself, have not met the body figure standard of what a Vietnamese woman should be. My family and relatives have always been saying that a Vietnamese girl should have a slim figure. Since I was small, I was that chubby girl, who loved to eat delicious home-cooked meals continuously and did not care about the effects of overeating. Everywhere I go, I would constantly hear comments from my parent’s friends and relatives on how obese I am and compare my figure to my cousins and friends’ appearance.…

    Relationships are essential to life. Everybody needs somebody to be there for them when they’re in hard times, or just in general for the moment. There are many stages and things that happen in the development of a relationship. Mark Knapp, a Distinguished Teaching Emeritus at University of Texas at Austin, made a suggestion that relationships consist of five main stages; initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, and bonding (Alder, Rodman.) Also he described the five stages that relationships go through when they come to an end. They consist of the following differentiating, circumscribing, stagnating, avoiding, and stagnating.…

    Essay on the Poem "Scaffolding" by Heaney

    Relationships are special bonds between people that do not happen quickly. It takes time meet someone you would consider having a relationship with, and then it building that relationship can be tough. When having a romantic relationship it takes feelings, but it also takes two people to put in effort. The most important step of a relationship is building it, so if you cannot do that step it will not work. Joseph F. Newton once said “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.” This quote proves that building a relationship is very important to a relationship; however it is not the only one. Seamus Heaney’s "Scaffolding" displays romantic relations, by describing the building of relationships, the stages of a relationship, and love.…
