Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze short fiction in order to improve reading comprehensive skills and make real world connections.

DO NOW

Use a NEO to complete the following two questions. Be sure to provide textual evidence to support your answers:


1. Analyze the imagery used on page 30 to describe Angel Vargas' death. Then, this imagery clearly contradicts what happens. Why might Cisneros use such imagery?  


4. What is Alicia's deal?Analyze the female role so far in this Mexican culture as Cisneros sees it. Consider (so far) the grandmother (page 11), Marin (page 26-27) and Alicia (page 31-32).

Then read to page 52.
