In Cuban I Was A German Shepherd Analysis
My favorite story for all semester is "In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd" written by Ana Menendez. The story is written in very simple way. When someone start to read this story the reader may feel that it's written people's day pass. However , the story brought very important message about circumstances when the political change in the country effect on public career. This is about political harassment and life to survive. This story is very different than other story in my semester. Few people may not understand this story because this is not about butterfly in fairy tale and rose flower in love story. This is about the life experience that someone between us may go through. This story helps reader to stimulate the feeling of co-operation

    Another interesting story was “Anguiano Religious Articles”.

Told from the perspective of a woman, the story describes her hatred toward a store owner. Before journeying to the store, she is told that this store owner is a “crab ass”.

    I was most drawn to “Mericans” as the story provokes a gratitude of thought, displays the rawness of cultural diversity through the Mexican church and resonates with the innocence of childhood through the eyes of Micaela. The author, Cisneros, brings to life the full reality of the livelihood of Mexican Americans through this story. In “Mericans” we are offered an opportunity to look inside the family dynamics of a Mexican family and how they are often misunderstood through their custom. We are also afforded the opportunity to visualize a church that plays a cornerstone in their culture. This literary display is why I feel that the story “Mericans” is the best choice for nomination.…

It does this by having multiple layers to the story going back to 1692 to the Salem witch trials and, 1950 to McCarthyism. The story is relevant to each person, no matter the…
