Is America or Mexico a Better Example of a “Melting Pot”?
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page paper uses the novel “Who Would Have Thought It?” by Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton as a springboard to consider the question of whether the term “melting pot” applies more accurately to the U.S. or Mexico. The paper argues that the term as generally understood doesn’t apply in this context, and that the book shows the bigotry, racism and arrogance of the United States clearly, while Mexican society is shown as warm and caring. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Isabel Allende/If You Touched My Heart
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Allende's poignant short story of self-centered evil and retribution, "If You Touched My Heart." The writer argues that this is a fable that offers a complex morality tale, which works on many levels of understanding. It concerns Amadeo Peralta, an amoral man who treats a young girl, Hortensia, in an abominable fashion that ignores her humanity. An examination of the symbolism, imagery and themes of this complex narrative demonstrates how Allende conceives of evil as something apart from consciousness. It does not matter that Hortensia does not conceive of her fate as evil. It nevertheless comes back in a full karmic circle to ensnare Peralta in precisely the same circumstances that Hortensia suffered. No additional sources cited.

Isabel Allende: Magical Realism
[ send me this paper ]
Isabel Allende's work contains magical realism to heighten the reality in her novels. Allende says there is “a fundamental difference between imagination and fantasy. Fantasy is made up of fairytales, which do not have a basis in real life. Imagination is the exaltation of reality.” (Zapata-Whelan). Her books have “elements of imagination” such as “gross exaggeration” and “recurrent use of premonition, of coincidence” (Zapata-Whelan), and hyperbole, events that don’t occur in real life – all technical elements of magical realism. Explored via critics, text and Allende interviews are Of Love and Shadow, Paula and My Invented Country. Bibliography lists 8 sources. jvAllnde.rtf

Isabel Allende’s “Of Love and Shadows” -- Reflections of the
Author’s Anger
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses one of Isabel
Allende’s novels, “Of Love and Shadows.” Allende is a Chilean
author who fills her work with spiritual strength and humor which
transcends personal and societal tragedy. Allende’s “Of Love and
Shadows” demonstrates her awareness of the fleeting nature of
life and love. Having experienced the terror of having been so
close to a bloody uprising, receiving death threats, finding out
she was listed on the military’s blacklist, being forced to run
from her homeland, and having survived seems to have allowed her
to add an extra measure of both sweetness and melancholy in her
novels. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Jorge Luis Borges' "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Jorge Luis Borges' Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius can readily be interpreted as a piece of speculative fiction focused most prominently upon reflecting the parabolic aspects of Berkeleian idealism. Discovering a once-upon-a-time existence where materialism has no place, Borges' protagonist brings this reality full circle when, upon recreating this other world's history, culture and languages, the actual world in which he lives begins to adopt such principles. Indeed, the fundamental purpose of this story is to ponder various philosophical themes and questions, which one might readily equate with a number of Freudian theories, not the least of which include his dream theory. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
