Hernandez writes that “two women in love confirms for me that there is a love beyond what everyone else says is possible.” As time goes on she mentions to her mother that she has not dated a guy in while and that she instead had been dating women, leaving her mother speechless and mimicking the Virgin Mary pose.…

    Quotes In Enrique's Journey By Sonia Nazario

    Rhetorical Devices In Trujillo

    In developing her own fears of Trujillo through Maria Teresa, Alvarez discretely coaxes readers to feel the same way she does with simple devices like rhetorical questions, repetition, and personification.

In addition to using personification to give more life to the text, Julia Alvarez uses it alongside references to sound (police sirens) to appeal to readers’ senses to trigger their emotions, once again rendering readers vulnerable and more receptive to logic. In addition, by mentioning God to indicate the sort of qualities…
