Support 1:

In my thesis, I stated that Narciso Rodriguez learned what the true meaning of family. In paragraph 7 he states" It was in this simple house that my parents welcomed other refugees to celebrate their arrival to this country and where I celebrated my first birthdays. It was in the warmth of the kitchen in this humble house where a Cuban feast (albeit a frugal Cuban feast) always filled the air with not just scent and music but life and love. It was here where I learned the real definition of "family." The mood of this story was reminiscence which means to think

Passionate Cuban music (which I adore to this day) filled the air, mixing with the aromas of the kitchen." He thought back on the days of his childhood, when his parents would play Cuban music and both of his parents shared the love of cooking, but he also rememberd that his parents had to leave cuba which ment leaving friends and family,but they made the sacrifice to leave friends and family just for Narciso Rodriguez to have a better life, I can prove my claim in paragraph 5 Narciso Rodriguez states " My mother and father had come to this country with such courage, without any knowledge of the language or the culture. They came selflessly, as many immigrants do, to give their children a better life, even though it meant leaving behind their families, friends, and careers in the country they loved. in that paragraph, he talks about his parents and the sacrifices they made. In this story I can prove my thesis, this memoir was written in 2006 and these events took place in the 1960's so that means he must have been thinking about an event that took place long
