Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
The difference between appearances, fantasy, and reality are blurred in several scenes in the text. Describe these moments in the text as well as the repeated imagery that may have to do with the blurring of these boundaries.
Essay Topic 2
Mrs. Milagros and David Reguel present very different pictures of the same thing -- life in Mrs. Milagros' boarding house -- especially with respect to the different personalities that reside at the house. Compare and contrast Milagros and Reguel's descriptions of the boarding house, the people who live there, and the crime that is under investigation. Is there one objective reality or are all perspectives valid? Which picture of reality do you think the author believes?
Essay Topic 3
Mrs. Milagros tells Camilo's story in great detail (even scenes that take place away from her that Camilo only told her about). This serves to keep readers interested but also says something about her relationship with Camilo. What does this say about her relationship with Camilo and what she believes to be true?
