The purpose of the poem is to show that even doing everyday activities, such as a simple game of pool, can bring out a person’s deepest, darkest emotions. This poem inspires the reader to leave toxic relationships. Relationships should be a two way street and a couple should treat each other right.

Discuss the ways in which Rosario Castellanos challenges and subverts gender stereotypes in her work? In this essay I am going to examine and discuss the work of one of Mexico’s most important literary figures, Rosario Castellanos, with particular emphasis on her feministic beliefs and the ways in which she used her writing to catapult her views into the forefront of society. Her writing reflects bitterness regarding the desires and misfortunes of the female population of her nation. Castellanos used poetry, novels and plays as a platform to voice the many inequalities that she deemed prevalent in society at that time. She committed to writing as a mechanism for social change.

The House on Mango Street is a coming of age story, mostly autobiographic, in which Cisneros transpose most of her experience as a young girl, and the way she had to deal with the struggles she encountered.It deals a lot with the search of identity, the poverty that surrounded her and the misoginy she witnessed and underwent through. El Norte is an american and british movie directed by Gregory Nava dealing with the struggles of Guatemalans during the Guatemalan Civil War in the eighties and showing the journey of two indigenous siblings emigrating from Guatemala to go to the United States hoping for a better life. Both Cisneros and Gregory Nava have have a Mexican heritage and were born in the United States so they both have an idea of what it is like to struggle in the US, being of Mexican descent.

This poem expresses what the author expects to have but not achieving it (Applebee 420). In Giovanni's works she rages over family love, loneliness, and frustration (PoetryFoundation 1). As demonstrated in “Choices” she is frustrated as she can not achieve what she wants in result she goes along with what society wants her to do.

Though he had a mother, he may feel as though in this time of despair he had no one to guide and comfort him therefore being ‘motherless’ and him resorting to ‘Singing his frightened self to sleep’. Therefore, it seems like his purpose is to take on the role of a mother to those who read his works and are going through the same struggles and to bring them ‘ease’. This is further proven by the epigram which brings a twist where the poetry he read was initially addressed to himself but later is intended for him to bring comfort and hope to his readers.

His experience is able to guide and soothe
