Title: Silence Speaks More Than We Observe
"Silent Dancing" By Judith Ortiz Cofer
There are moments in which the silence can convey a message which is much more momentous than any other words which can be spoken. "Silent Dancing" by Judith Ortiz Cofer is a great evidence of that. In this piece of work the writer conveys a message about her childhood. Around the young age of three, the writer along with her mother and her younger brother shifted from their homeland Puerto Rico to America to reunite with their father once again. "Silent Dancing" helps understand what it must've been like growing up in a community within America with other Spanish natives, and how her family reacts to such transitions. With this account our writer was able to include a description of a silent film she recorded. This film consists of Spanish men and women found in their home during a celebration. It concludes with a five minute clip of the guests dancing, but in absolute silence. Yet no experience of sound is exhibited, the film reveals great deep meaning, and the silence contains the truth about Cofer.
In this abstract we can observe many repetitions of details which try to signify a certain aspect. Such as in the beginning on page 47 the writer imposes many vivid images of her youth and the season to explain a single detail in her life which contains the sadness that the color gray surrounds her by. She says “my memories of life in Patterson during those first few years are all in shades of gray. Maybe I was too young to absorb all those colors and details, or to discriminate between the state blue of the winter sky and the darker hues of the snow bearing clouds, but that single color washes over the whole period’(47). What the writer is trying to reveal here is the very well image which is described by repetition of details defining a single object is the tragedy of spending her insecure childhood in such place. The rest of the paragraph
