How Does Mario Suarez Use Of Description In El Hoyo

The beauty of the story is about authentically conveying the author’s emotion experience, depicting the true feeling of the characters, and delivering the thought process by putting readers into their shoes, in order to create resonance with the readers, like her emotion for the love of nature, for her struggle towards money, and for the crush she had towards the hunter. Sylvia’s love of nature showed from “As for Sylvia herself, it seemed as if she had never been alive at all before she came to live at the farm. (5)”.

Estrella’s development is portrayed through Viramontes’ selection of detail, specifically choosing tools and Perfecto Flores. The first representation of Viramontes’ selection of detail is Estrella’s opinion of the tools. In the beginning of the excerpt, Estrella describes the tools as “confusing and foreign” symbolizing her struggle with literacy and understanding her culture. In the end, Estrella realizes the “power of [the tool’s] function” representing her knowledge of the alphabet and its importance in reading. The second representation of Viramontes’ selection of detail is Estrella’s opinion of Perfecto Flores.

From the outset, García Márquez already establishes the themes of religion and violence with mentions of the bishop’s arrival and images of rifles chaotically bouncing against the walls, suggesting that these themes will play a key role in the novella’s development. The opening line is intentionally vague and non-descriptive, building suspense and encouraging the reader to take part in the speculation, wondering who will kill Santiago. This immediately makes the reader play an active role in the investigation and unwittingly participate in the murder about to unfold as they gain increasing knowledge of future events, just like the rest of the community. For this reason, the true nature of a community is already being explored as we see how easy it is to become implicit in the crimes of others without being truly conscious of what you are

Along in with the author’s use of metaphors is the frequent use of imagery. In this reading, it is simple to envision the scenes as the different scenarios are explained and the audience can easily picture Staples in the places he is describing and also the people he comes across. Perhaps the most powerful and memorable imagery is provided in the author’s description of people’s different reactions and faces when they come into contact with him. Actions speak volumes and an immediate change of facial expression is possibly one of the

4. I think his essay succeeds in communicating his ideas because he gave in details of El Hoyo, the people that live there and their lifestyle and its importance to him. He wrote about its scenery which isn’t too beautiful as he writes the houses consists of unplastered adobe, wood, and abandoned car parts. The city has narrow streets, some tall trees, weeds, garbage, and dogs. As well El Hoyo is not safe. However, it does have good in it too or "advantages" as he put it such as if you are going through a long time of hardship, the

. . one can’t help but wonder what form the author/protagonist’s life will take in the aftermath of his exorcism” (261). In this quote, Gonzales-Berry asserts that Miguel Chico’s has been exonerated of his repression through the art of writing. As stated by Marquez, serving as an inner historian has provided Miguel Chico a different perspective on life. Moreover, Gonzales-Berry’s curiosity is insightful because now that Miguel Chico has released his repression, he can now enjoy what he was encouraged to repress—his body. Lastly, in the article, “Sinners Among Angels, or Family History and the Ethnic Narrator in Arturo Islas’s The Rain God” written by David Rice, adheres to the idea of repression as he writes, “Through his vision of Felix’s return, Miguel Chico realizes that the family can only be saved if it is reconnected to the past which it represses and denies” (184). In this quote, Rice claims that the Angel family suffers from repression. His viewpoint is coming from the inner historian—Miguel Chico—as Marquez refers in his article. He refers to the salvation of the Angel family because the burden of their past is preventing the family from living their lives, hence not function as a family. In order to proceed, Rice suggests that the Angel family must acknowledge the past and learn to accept it.

Soto felt sorry that his parent’s their faces filled with exhaustion, however he didn’t feel too guilty because he continued to play his games. They played in the dirt beneath the rocks, in which treasures lied such as: shimmery sand, old water logged leaves, rusted dirty bottle caps, and they caught small reptiles they’re squeals arose as the little critters crawled on the palms of their hands. Soto said, “We played games that we could have played at home, but it seemed so special to be there, the river loud at our side, fishermen shushing us, dogs knee -- deep in water and drinking” (127). In “Piedra” the most important tone is blissfulness. He plays games that bore him while he’s home however, he is intrigued by them in the wilderness his heart is filled with blissfulness, although the fellow fishers next to them holler to keep it down there spirits stay high. The “games” symbolize that Soto truly is in love with the wilderness. He doesn’t take anything for granted there everything is special and close to is heart. The “games” makes Soto’s heart sing with blissfulness as he

The students of the Centre are conformists. They are typical example of Spanish citizens to live under Franco’s Rule during the 1950’s. They accept what they are thought by Don Pablo and Doña Pablo and do not question it. In contrast to the students Ignacio is an independent character who does not conform to the society of the Centre. He challenges what the students have been thought. ‘Ciegos! Ciegos y no invidentes, imbéciles.’ Ignacio keeps on emphasising how there is a division in life between ‘los invidentes’ and ‘los videntes’ and tries to spread his darkness to the people of the centre. ‘La Guerra que me consume os consumirá.’

In the doorway, a petite, hairless dog laid either asleep or dead. Upon entering, an employee asked us to tie a colorful silk wrap around our waists to cover our legs out of reverence. We complied and entered the cathedral. The ceilings were lofty, and the altar was composed of marble trimmed in gold and ornamented with statues of saints and paintings of cherubs.

The sweat beaded on my forehead as we hiked, for what seemed to be miles, to a cigar bar in the heart of Havana’s historic district.
