Salvador: A Fictional Narrative
Maria Materiano, an expectant mother and her husband, Salvador exited the large Mediterranean style house, ready for a night on the town, standing on the veranda watching it rain, while waiting for the limousine. Charles drove the limo close to the veranda, got out, opened the door while holding the umbrella to keep Maria from getting wet as he and her husband helped her into the back seat.
Driving down the street, Salvador spoke, “I know I asked you earlier, but are you sure you should be out tonight? The weather is horrible and getting worse.”

“You sit back, relax and in a few weeks deliver me two fine healthy boys. They can grow up and help in the business, so Uncle Franco can step down," he said patting her stomach again and smiled. “I’m a happy man.”
After a few minutes she asked, “Have you thought anymore about one of them becoming a priest? I love my church, and would not want both of them involved in the family’s business I think one of them could become a priest. I talked with your uncle last week. He even agreed we should have a priest in the family.”
“I haven’t thought about it, but I guess you’re right, one of them will probably have your kind, loving and giving personality.

1876 Words | 8 PagesThey didn’t know what to do when they found out that she was pregnant; they were young, they didn’t have any money, they were scared, they didn’t want to tell anybody, they didn’t know what to do, and the only option that they could see was to terminate the pregnancy. So that’s what they decided to do… they went to a clinic, they had the procedure done, and at first they felt relieved that all their problems had gone away. But then something happened that they did not expect… and that’s over the next few weeks, which turned into a few months, they began to feel an intense sadness… and a pain and an agony and a guilt that wouldn’t go away. They didn’t know what to do, so they finally went to see a counselor; they said look — tell us what to do, we just don’t know, and the counselor made a suggestion. The counselor said here’s what you need to do — stop acting like you had a procedure, and act like you had a death in the family.”
Democracy In Susan Burgerman's El Salvador
155 Words | 1 Pagesdemocracy is to flourish in El Salvador, the government will have to find a way to solve its security dilemma. Most importantly, it will need to figure out how to ensure the safety of its citizens without reverting to repressive authoritarianism.

As she writes, “Lowering violent crime significantly in poorly performing states requires focused, systemic,

Gender Roles In Chronicle Of A Death Foretold
1441 Words | 6 PagesCharacters in the novel are frequently shown to be contradicting traditional Catholic values and the Ten Commandments, such as the prohibition of sex before marriage. Pedro Vicario, one of the Vicario brothers behind the killing of Santiago Nasar, was “trembling with rage” (p.47) after finding out Angela Vicario was not a virgin before marriage, despite having returned from the local brothel with his brother moments before. This use of irony demonstrates the satirical nature of Márquez’s work, all the while making a commentary on the contradictory communal religious ideologies entrenched in the town. In the novel, the revered religious figures in the community are portrayed as symbols of the hollow religious beliefs in the community, solely making appearances which portray them in a negative light. Father Amador and the Bishop are portrayed to be apathetic and demonstrate un-Christian values.
