    Enrique’s Journey + Which Way Home Analysis Although both the book Enrique’s Journey written by Sonia Nazario and the movie Which Way Home directed by Rebecca Cammisa aim to describe the complexity of immigration, they fulfill their purpose in different ways with contrasting techniques. While the book presents the complexity of immigration through one specific story of Enrique with the use of ethos, the movie presents its main message in a broader perspective through the stories of multiple characters, and it utilizes visual images and background music as its main techniques to appeal to the audiences. Both the book and the movie have unique advantages, but they also face peculiar limitations due to their genres and the techniques they…

    Depictions of Traditional Women in Fascism Unlike many fascism films barely illustrate about the female (Rentschler 15), both the Italian historical film 1860 directed by Alessandro and the German melodramatic feature film La Habanera directed by Detlev Sierck are united by their portraits of traditional women like Carmeniddu’s wife, Gesuzza in 1860, and Astrée in La Habanera.

Second, both the Italian film and the German film use the set designs to reflect the females’ feelings.…

    Childhood and adolescence are portrayed as times graced by innocence and a sense of wonder; on other works, they are depicted as times of tribulation and terror. In The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros plagues the protagonist’s, Esperanza Cordero, childhood with horrible events that skew her view on society.

    Born in a family of Mexican immigrants, Sandra Cisneros discovers her niche in the American literature by writing from her experience as an immigrant growing at the confluence of two cultures. Until her teenager years, Cisneros’ family moves back and forth from Chicago to Mexico, making her feel not integrated in either culture. As Robin Ganz declares, Cisneros “derived inspiration from her cultural specificity and found her voice in the dingy rooms of her house on Mango Street, on the cruel but comfortable streets of the barrio, and in the smooth and dangerous curves of borderland arroyos” (1). In her short story, “Woman Hollering Creek”, Cisneros describes the life of a Mexican woman, Cleofilas that marries a man from “el otro lado” in the…

    Equality is something that is perpetually strived for, but seldom achieved. In the novella The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, the protagonist, Esperanza, does not want to continue the cycle of inequality. Throughout the story, Esperanza continually sees women in her life treated like objects in a society that values women for their looks, and not for what is on the inside. In the thread of gender roles, a theme that is developed is that men do not treat women as their equals, but instead as something that can be possessed and dominated. This theme is developed throughout the stories Esperanza tells about her great-grandmother’s resentment of being a married woman, Rafaela’s lack of freedom in her marriage, and the troubles Minerva…
