Recommended: Short story analysis essay

Jennifer De Leon did a fantastic job narrating the short story. Although she didn’t have a dialogue with Aracelis, the librarian, Jennifer explained all of her thoughts and actions in great detail while Aracelis was speaking to her. Jennifer also did a superb job presenting the people involved in the story. One example of Jennifer doing a great job of presenting someone involved in the story is describing Aracelis. Jennifer states “She is rosy-cheeked and wears a pearl white sweater with a fur collar. Her black hair is thick and long like mine.” which presents Aracelis with a ton of imagery. Jennifer’s description of the library can be described as vivid with the amount of detail she put into her story. For example, Jennifer says “The library

  • Analysis Of Jeanne De Jussie's Roles In The Short Chronicle

    1213 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jeanne de Jussie, a dedicated Catholic nun, recorded events that took place in Geneva during the Reformation as the official chronicler for the Saint Clare convent. Although littered with biases, Jeanne de Jussie’s experiences reflect broader trends during the Reformation; therefore, The Short Chronicle is a valid source and not merely a personal attack against the Protestants. Her experiences and beliefs, including those concerning celibacy, reflected those of many members of the Catholic Church during the Reformation. Also, her categorization of Protestants as ‘heretics’ was consistent with the practices of the Catholic Church. Although biased, her fears about Protestant views on celibacy and marriage were legitimate and consistent with

  • Themes in Rain of Gold, by Victor Villasenor

    I really enjoyed all of the characters and this book tremendously. Both Lupe's and Juan's mother were very strong and God fearing women. They had a very strong bind between their children who were taught values and morals. This book made me want to know my ancestral routes and learn more about my culture. Since this book was a true story about Victor Villasenor's family, it made the stories even more real. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves to read.

In times like these, Rodriguez would become engaged in these books. “I sat there and sensed for the very first time some possibility of fellowship between reader and writer, a communication, never intimate like that I heard spoken words at home convey, but nonetheless personal.” (Rodriguez 228).

  • Empowering Voices: Storytelling in Tan's Characters

    1115 Words  | 3 Pages

    The ability to tell one’s own story, to speak one’s mind, is the best antidote to powerlessness. Tan’s writing instills agency and visibility in Chinese American women. The silence is broken, and their new voices are constructed in collective storytelling, a language of community, without denying or erasing the different positions such collaboration encounters. Tan compels each of her characters to tell their own story in their own words, thus (re)creating the meanings of their life. The interrelated narratives make sense only if readers can discern the specificities of each woman’s story as located within the novel.

  • Personal Narrative: The Perez Family

    As soon as I arrived to the Perez family reunion, I immediately felt out of place. Since my family and I were the only ones not wearing the designated family reunion shirts, we stuck out like a sore thumb. Nevertheless, we received a warm welcome from the hostess who was my step-dad’s cousin. Although my stepdad, Shawn, has been in our family for a few years, we had never met any of his outside family. We’d heard the stories about my step-grandma and her fifteen brothers and sisters but we were excited to finally meet them. The first cousin that we encountered commented how she hadn’t seen Shawn in fifteen years. That would probably explain why she thought my sister and I were his daughters. I thought this was a strange assumption at first seeing as he is dark complected and my sisters and I are blondes. The longer we stayed, however, the more I realized that nearly all of the children below 25 were blond or near
