The Importance Of Being Etta
Hi Darlin,
I completely agree with you, the person who takes care of the fence is responsible for it, and that’s Etta. Reyna should have cared for them while Etta was gone but she didn’t. Regarding your question, if I had to pick between being Etta or Reyna in the story, I would want to be Etta because even though the community treats her differently for it, I would prefer to have had different experiences and learn different things like Etta.

    Something else that is significant to this novel is Mama Elena’s struggle. Mama Elena also suffered the pangs of lost love due to her mother. Although the reactions of each woman to her predicament helps sort out the differences between Tita and Mama Elena. While Mama Elena let the loss of her love make her a controlling and menacing mother, Tita obeys her mother’s command but still has the lifelong struggle of trying to find love which she eventually gets after all the conflicts are absent from her life. “For twenty-two years she had respected the pact the two of them had made with Rosaura; now she had had enough of it. Thier pact consisted of taking into consideration the fact that it was vital to Rosaura to maintain the appearance that her marriage was going splendidly, and the most important thing for her was that her daughter grow up within that sacred institution, the family- the only way, she felt, to provide a firm moral foundation. Pedro and Tita had sworn to be absolutely discreet about their meetings and keep their love a secret. In the eyes of others, theirs must always be a perfectly normal family.

    Abuela Evila

    Growing up Reyna always wanted to have a normal family. She wanted to be with her parents in the same country together. However, things did not turn out like she had hoped for. Her father found a new woman in the United States, and that caused her mother to leave and go back to Iguala. After her mother came back to Mexico, her mother started coming in and out of her and her siblings’ lives. The kids started to see their mother less and less, till one day she just abandoned them completely. When their father came to bring them to the U.S., Reyna thought that this would be the moment where she would finally get the family she always wanted. However, things started to change when she realized the father she made up in her head, and the stories that her sister would tell of their dad; was not the father she excepted. Her dad was mean, abusive, and would strike at any given moment. The family she always longed for was not a reality. She said, “Immigration took a toll on us all” (Grande 472). I find this interesting because getting to read about the characters and how they changed when they got to the U.S, one can see that migrating did change these characters lives. Carlos gave up everything he worked hard for, for a woman. Mago wanted to become more Americanized, and she wanted to forget where she came from. Natalio gave up on his dream house, and…

    Three Main Elements Of Ethos

    Ethos is basing arguments based on one's character through trust. The three main elements of ethos is trustworthiness/credibility, authority, and clear motives. An example would be turning to a dactor's help and advice because of their knowledge of health and medicine. People will turn to doctors because they know that doctors have experiences in the health and medical field. They would much rather listen to a doctor than a random people they do not trust. One may use this rhetorical appeal in a persuasive essay because the information given is true statements that come from experienced people or credibility. In a persuasive essay, one can give the true statements instead of giving their views and opinions. This kind of information will make…

    The Importance Of Being Earnest Analysis

    While reading Oscar Wilde’s story “The Importance of Being Earnest” I can see that the play is about a debate of pleasant and unpleasant marriage. Wilde explores sincerity in his play by really gearing the play around the word “earnest”. In the play both women wanted to marry a person named “earnest” because they thought that it actually meant to be sincere, responsible, and earnest. The play presents many scenes of sincerity versus hypocrisy. For example, when Lady Bracknell asks Jack about Cecily with the intention to judge her as a wife for Algernon, while Lady Bracknell notices Cecily after she found out about her money. But, also the men characters play having a double life or secret life. Both men Jack and Algernon make up a fake…

    ethos pathos

    Although Creon uses ethos to convey his feelings towards his laws, Haemon uses rhetorical appeal within pathos to support Antigone. Creon expresses his belief that the law is law, and no one should break it, “I’ll have no dealings with lawbreaks, critics of the government: whoever is chosen to govern should be obeyed” (iii.34-35). Within this, Creon believes that no matter how strict the rules are, they are rules, and they must be obeyed. This way of approach seems right to Creon, because he believes that he is above everyone else, and that his rules are for the benefit of the citizens. Haemon however, questions his belief of his father Haemon exclaims, “You are not in a position to know everything that people say or do, or what they feel” (iii.58-59). Haemon appeals his position with the backings of the citizens. He believes that the citizens come before the rules, and whatever suits them the best should be the law, not whatever a king says is. Haemon creates a brash response to Creon by telling him he doesn’t know what the people want and essentially jeopardizes his relationship with his father. Furthermore, Haemon goes on by questioning his father, “She covered her brother’s body, is this indecent? She kept him from dogs and vultures, is this a crime?” (iii. 65-66). Using a rhetorical appeal, Haemon questions the doing of Creon. He creates an ethical approach to his belief in what’s right by acknowledging the problems with Creon’s law, yet not straight forward telling him he is wrong. Overall, Ultimately Haemons rhetorical questions and overall ethical response shows the underlying stupidity of Creon’s law.…

    Individual actions are to support the goal of protecting the United States as a whole. A soldier who qualifies as an expert with the M-4 rifle is an example of virtue theory.

    What Is Ethnocentrism? Why Is Diversity Valued

    I believe people label and group other people because of enculturation. When people are growing up they are taught their religious beliefs, who they should hang out with, and who they should not hang out with. If a person is taught from a young age that other people are not equal to themselves they will label them as such. If a child is brought up thinking that people with tattoos and piercings are bad, they will more than likely continue to label and group these people as they get…
