Essay Topic 2
Mrs. Milagros' narrative voice sets the tone for the story. How does her particular voice and perspective define the text? What are her beliefs and feelings that most affect how we see her and other characters?
Essay Topic 3
Voice is an overarching technique throughout the text. Not only are the voices of the narrators contrasted, but there is some note of which characters have a voice. At various moments in the book, the fact that Camilo, Rosaura, and the maid don't speak is emphasized. Why do you believe these characters don't speak much? Why do you think that the author wanted to emphasize that point? How do you believe this shapes the text?
