Improved Essays
The rain shows her no mercy as she continues to lie in the mud and after a while, the wind begins to play tricks on her. In the distance she thought, she heard a familiar voice saying something that she could not understand. A few moments later, she clearly hears it say, “Clemmy Sue Jarvis stop wallowing in that there mud and gets up right this here minute and gets that there darn truck off my dang flower garden.” Confused, she stumbles to her feet, turns in the direction of the voice and cannot believe her eyes when she sees her dearest friend standing two feet away from

    After pages of introduction to Holcomb as an unremarkable place, describing it as uneventful, dull, and small, the author gives his first implication to an event that might take place in this town. He emphasizes the insignificance of the town before implying that something important is going to happen. Capote references the crime committed, establishing that the kind of book that he seems keen to write, one that is blunt and explanatory, rather than a mystery. This quote also explains how from this point, both the killers’ lives ended the minute that they killed the family, as they were executed for the murder.…

    Because Clarinda seems to be referring to the angels, using the term “vuelo” seems to be a proper way to refer to the angels since she refers to them as the “spirits of the sky.” My decision to suggest that there is a mistake in the printing of the poem is both cultural and textual because there must be an understanding of the concept of “angels” that Clarinda is using as well as an understanding of printing during the time of this poems creation. Another limit of translation that presented itself in this translation is the nonexistence of some Spanish words or phrases in the English language. The “limit” of translating this poem led to the extension of some lines as well as the creation of some new words. The first word I would like to present is “terrones” on line 139 which is hard to convey in English because it can only be conveyed in English with several words.…

    Chrystos Poem Analysis

    • 756 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Chrystos is making the argument that all white people have things that they had no idea that they originated from Native American culture and that in a way they are disgracing their culture and beliefs. She assumes that we don’t have Native roots until the end of the poem saying that maybe we have a grandma who was Native American. She is making the stereotype that white people don’t have any regard for other cultures and that whites think they are superior to others. I think “it” is referring to some people who don’t know very much about other cultures and were something or own something without knowing its roots. She does seem somewhat angry because she just wants them to know where the things they have truly came from and how to respect…
