Essay Topic 2

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?
Essay Topic 3
Solving the crime of who killed Rosaura is the pretext for all of the details in the text. Solving the mystery drives the text even before the reader is even aware of the nature of the crime.

Do you believe that this is an interesting or satisfactory resolution to the novel?
