    In “Charro” by Oscar Casares, respect is an underlying theme that ties the whole story together. It weaves itself in and out of each scene as if it were its own character in the story. From having the respect for family or that of someone’s personal space, it is a constant throughout. Respect has the most important part in life. Family, friends, and acquaintances all need it. Humans have the tendency not to give respect all the time, which, without the presence of it, anger, hate and violence will arise from tension cause from its absence.

    	"It mattered that education was changing me. It never ceased to matter. My brother and sisters would giggle at our mother’s mispronounced words. They’d correct her gently. My mother laughed girlishly one night, trying not to pronounce sheep as ship. From a distance I listened sullenly. From that distance, pretending not to notice on another occasion, I saw my father looking at the title pages of my library books. That was the scene on my mind when I walked home with a fourth-grade companion and heard him say that his parents read to him every night. (A strange sounding book-Winnie the Pooh.) Immediately, I wanted to know, what is it like?" My companion, however, thought I wanted to know about the plot of the book. Another day, my mother surprised me by asking for a "nice" book to read. "Something not too hard you think I might like." Carefully I chose one, Willa Cather’s My ‘Antonia. But when, several weeks later, I happened to see it next to her bed unread except for the first few pages, I was furious and suddenly wanted to cry. I grabbed up the book and took it back to my room and placed it in its place, alphabetically on my shelf." (p.626-627)

In this grand defense of eloquence, Vico uses different Greek and Roman political figures as exemplars of great speakers as verification of the greatness of proper eloquence. He concludes his argument with a plea to future civil servants that asks them to learn multiple disciplines in order to develop common sense. It is fitting for Vico, a poorly paid professor of eloquence in Naples, to write in defense of universities and institutions.
