Summary Of Volar By Judith Ortiz Cofer's Volar
It is a privilege to be living with the border of the USA. South Koreans call United States “Mee-Gook”, which means “beautiful nation” which is very true. The country better than almost all other nations in million different ways. Flower attract bees. The flower of democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity, and equality have attracted bees from all over mother Earth. But the nectar from this well-blossomed flower may not be sweet enough for all alien bees. With every bee having a story to tell, the story ‘Volar’ by Judith Ortiz Cofer has a generalized story of all the immigrant bees. A story which suggests all bees are attracted to a rose for its beauty yet the taste of Heliconia flower will always remain within.
Volar is a story about a mother
