Tpyewriert Typewriter Journal Entry

Great Essays
I have recently come upon the opportunity to purchase a tpyewriert typewriter and i intend to put it to smoe use. As it is the beginning of a new year, I was hoping to get in the habit of doing something new. Thus, I have decided to begin a journal in my spare time.
Forgive the errors prior, but my typing skills are hardly comparable to a novice. I will type more slowly and carefully to ensure you, dear reader, the most enjoyable reading experience. I do wonder who may come upon this journal one day, since it is, at this point in time, a secret; but perhaps my words and life story may be found later, long after my passing, and I will become something of a “specimen”... a specimen of mankind for future generations to study.

Not necessarily because her presence escapes me; I do wish for her return. But that is not the primary reason. I have felt something that I feel is...not right.
I will confess this only to you: my eyes did lay upon a magnificent beauty very recently. Her name was Tita de la Garza. I still remember her toothy grin when she was a child. Yet, like a rose, she has just begun to bloom.
Her sister, Rosaura, had given birth and Tita handled it very well, Tita practically did all my work for me. It is rumored that Pedro Muzquiz, Rosaura’s husband, and Tita are romantically inclined, but how can that be so? I cannot imagine this honorable family to be capable of any sort of infidelity.
In complete honesty, if he should be guilty of such a crime, I do not blame him, for Tita is marvelous. I would give the world to see her again. I visit the family’s ranch every day to visit Rosaura, who is still very sick. She lives, but faintly.
Nevertheless, these passing days are not enough time. I see Tita often, but I can hardly ever get a word out to her. I am not faint of heart but my heart feels very strange when I am near her. Yet this strange, painful feeling only compels me to draw ever closer. Perhaps, love? I wouldn’t rule it out, but it is highly unlikely. I haven’t been attracted to anyone since my wife’s

She went through a lot of pain as her ex husband Memo didn’t seem to care about Caridad’s pregnancies since it was implied that she didn’t want to be a single mom.

    In Laura Esquivel’s mystical novel Like Water For Chocolate, food plays an incredibly prominent role. Food acts not only as a common theme that ties all the characters’ lives together, but also as a way for Tita, the central character, to convey her sometimes pent-up emotions to the rest of the world.

By employing magical realism to make specific sentiments more prominent, Esquivel successfully communicates the role of food in Tita’s life as a carrier of emotion. One of Tita’s first contributions to a family…
