Analysis Of 'The Red Umbrella And Band-Aid For 800 Children'

785 Words4 Pages

I´m comparing The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez and “Band-Aid for 800 Children” by Eli Sastow and the common subject in the texts is a sacrifice. There are many similar techniques they use but there are other techniques that are different. The following are some similarities that show sacrifice between the texts The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez and “Band-Aid for 800 Children” by Eli Sastow. One similarity is they both have a point of view of how Lucy’s thoughts are always with Me or My shown in the text like ¨My head seemed to nod on its own, without any instruction from me¨. Also from Nora Sandigos point of view since she 's the only person who expresses her feeling and speaks throughout the text like “Dios Mio,” she says, my God, because these are not just things she hopes to get done but things she needs to get done — things she is in fact legally responsible for doing”. How this shows sacrifice is Lucy accepts her fate to leave her family for the better even if she really doesn’t and Nora Sandigo shows sacrifice from being forced to do all that work and wasting her life. The second similarity is the dialogue shown in the two texts through papa saying “Your mother and I have decided …” Papá walked over and put his arm on Mamá’s shoulder. She sat frozen in place. “We’ve made plans for you to leave Cuba … tomorrow”. Nora indigos says “Every child is also a job”. This shows sacrifice from the dad having to send away his kids to another country to save

    Hannah Remillard postulates, “Sacrifice is one of the purest and most selfless ways to love someone.” Thus, it becomes clear that love is just an endless cycle of sacrifices we make, be it for our partner, family, friends or even our nation. Sacrifice can have several definitions but the author believes that in its purest form, sacrifice is surrendering oneself for the sake of someone else. A mother loses sleep to comfort her child, a father skips his meals to earn a livelihood for his family, a friend gives up on his/her dreams and ambitions just so they can see someone they love fulfill theirs, and so on. One cannot simply escape making sacrifices if they truly care.
