The Red Umbrella Analysis

721 Words3 Pages

The story “The Red Umbrella” written by Christina Diaz Gonzalez and the photograph by José Hernández-Claire both have the same subject. That subject is Separation. This subject is a big topic in both the story and the photograph because it literally revolves around separation. Even though they have something in common; and in “The Red Umbrella”, the kids are being separated from their parents and being brought to the U.S so that they can live a better life and so that they are safe. there is also something different about the story such as the techniques that make it easier to show the subject. In this paragraph I will be talking about how the story and photograph have a similar technique. A technique that is similar and used throughout the story is figurative language. This is shown in the caption of the photograph when it says, “As the only window to the future”. This is an example of a figurative language because there aren’t windows that lead to your future. Another example that it is similar is “The Red Umbrella” since it also has figurative language. This is shown when it says “Papa’s eyes glistened”. This is a figurative language because your eyes don’t glisten and it just showed that his eyes were shiny and water. My last piece of evidence will explain how both are similar. Both are similar because for the photograph, it is an idiom and for “The Red Umbrella”, it is a metaphor. Both are the same because they are both types of figurative languages. Another similar

    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”.

    All throughout this book, Capote used imagery, for example “...simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Railroad, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced ‘Ar-kan-sas’) River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and what fields” (3). By using imagery at the start of the book, it helps you visualize the basic layout of the town of Holcomb, where the murders had taken place and where most of the story takes place. Imagery throughout the story makes you feel as if you are there in the story, resulting in a better flowing and understood story. An example of imagery that stood out to me was whenever Capote stated, “Here was a picture of the two together bathing naked in a diamond-watered colorado creek, the brother, a pot-bellied, sun blackened cupid, clutching his sister’s hand and giggling..”.
