What Are Antonio's Dreams In Bless Me Ultima

Thesis: Antonio Marez should become a priest for the family but in doing so should break the traditional Catholicism tradition barriers and be able to incorporate his own life experiences. I.Rudolfo Anaya 's novel takes place in New Mexico in a small village called El Puerto. These details are true to Anaya 's life because the main protagonist is Antonio Marez, and he is modeled similarly to his life experiences. The mother comes from a family of farmers and the father comes from a family of vaqueros creating a conflict between the two and their children especially Antonio who is still in search of his own beliefs and identity. A.New Mexico or any Hispanic country has its cultural tradition but in this novel Rudolfo portrays multiple.

The first key event that I find significant in the story is when Frankie is expressing his feelings about his life and how it has been throughout the years, so his coming of age. Frankie has to take on the role as the man of the house at a very young age because of his father. Which leads to his childhood being cut short. He has taken on this role due to his irresponsible father’s behaviour.

Throughout “Bless Me Ultima ”, Antonio undergoes many internal conflicts that make him less innocent and less trusting towards others. The novel first starts off with the conflicting cultures of his parents, the Luna and Marez, the Luna is his mother’s side and the Marez is his father’s. The Luna are devout farmers who worship the earth and the moon, hence the name “Luna”. While the Marez are cowboys who 's just spend their days on their horses back and are devoted to the sun. All of Antonio 's brothers are already cowboys and committed to the Marez side of the family so Antonio is expected to join the Luna side and become a priest.

Each of the previous agreements lead up to the New agreement which is fulfilled by his son the Messiah. This paper detailed the five agreements Jehovah made with his people, who they were for, and how they related to each other and still today are important.

“I asked God to bless Pastor Murinzi for risking his own safety to help us…but then I winced at the prayer. A flush of anger burned my cheeks as I remembered how he’d sent my brother and our friend into the night” (74). This quote is an example of her being defensive and finger-pointing when, in reality, she was the one who had sent her brother and Augustine out of the house. She doesn’t want to except the fact that she has done something wrong, so she cowardly projects the blame onto somebody

Dimmesdale, the admired minister of the Puritan community, spends years hiding that he committed adultery with Hester, and doesid so to protect the Puritans. However, the minister hurt himself in the process, as he feelst unworthy due to his inauthenticity. Hawthorne also depicts the Puritan people as rigid, and unable to accept the world as it truly is.
