“A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood” by Judith Ortiz Cofer details one child’s conscious hunger to find out who she is due to a constant feeling that her identity slips through the cracks of her culture. The author uses rich details to express the importance she places on her relationship with the other females in her family (\u201cMama\u2019s matriarchal power to command\u201d) and the warnings told through the tales of the men in theirs and others\u2019 lives (\u201cHombres with the devil in their flesh\u201d). She goes on to state the lengths that she would go to, allowing her Mama, or grandmother, to braid her hair despite the \u201clittle jerks that made my eyes water,\u201d because of \u201cthe spell she cast when telling a story.\u201d The biggest proof of the author\u2019s thesis is when she is explaining her and her cousin Sara\u2019s roles in the womanly get-togethers, stating that they were \u201cCollaborators in search of answers,\u201d and that they hung on every word to \u201cfit it all together like a puzzle that, once assembled, would reveal life\u2019s mysteries to us.\u201d Through this searching for her own truth, the author subconsciously found her own voice and the gift of telling stories, refusing to succumb to the \u201cinfectious joke\u201d that was Maria La Loca\u2019s elderly life.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, “Sister Flowers” by Maya Angelou, details a child’s unconscious need for direction and the older woman who boosted her confidence and helped her to see that eloquence and thoughtful wording can get someone farther than could be imagined in life. The author uses narrative to emphasize the importance of language and speech throughout her essay, whether it is in the lack of speaking when Mrs. Flowers states that Marguerite\u2019s teachers \u201c\u2019have trouble getting you to talk in class,\u2019\u201d or the \u201cclarity\u201d with which Mrs. Flowers spoke so that \u201ca foreigner who didn\u2019t understand English could have understood her.\u201d One point that proves the author\u2019s thesis is when Mrs. Flowers explains to Marguerite that simply reading words is not enough because it is a person\u2019s duty \u201cto infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning.\u201d Mrs. Flowers\u2019 grace and way of life gave Marguerite an early insight into what can be achieved by taking pride in one\u2019s own abilities, but it also showed her that empathy is important, too, when she advised her that she \u201cmust always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.\u201d Mrs. Flowers proved her point by having Marguerite read books from many perspectives and many different ways of life. Through these romps \u201cinto the private lives of strangers,\u201d Marguerite found the voice that was always in her, and she was \u201cliked\u201d for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
