  • A Place To Stand By Jimmy Santiago Baca

    1150 Words  | 5 Pages

    Oftentimes when reading texts about liberation, whether the liberation is physical, metaphorical, or otherwise, there is a tendency to expect an overcoming narrative of sorts. Namely, when presented with a figure that is suffering, an audience expects a clean ending. However, concerning memoirs, this isn’t always the case. If anything, overcoming narratives within autobiographical texts can flatten out the nuances and struggles that are presented within, making the arc of the text seem flat and unconvincing. This is far from the case with Jimmy Santiago Baca’s autobiography, A Place to Stand.

Mckay puts his heart into making the story so clear for the reader, portraying imagery in a way that is beautiful and heart wrenching, that it comes alive and creates this emotion of love. and in the process mixing so many elements of personification, as the speaker describes the outdoors in fine detail. After the Winters imagery revolves around its detail, and clear visions of nature, describing these details with small words that make a vast difference such as “Shivering birds beneath the eaves” that tells the nature of the story but also using phrases
