This is the primary reason why she does not want to get married, and she gives the idea being that she is to romantic form marriage.

In "Woman Hollering Creek,"how does the myth of La Llorona inform the story? How is the protagonist similar to la Llorona? How is she not?
The story is mainly about relationships, and a woman, on the other hand, trying to find her voice in the face of abuse. Primarily, there are no connections to the idea that culture respect women who undergo suffering and those who mainly stand for themselves. The story represents a powerful woman Llorona who is described as a woman who can stand for herself. The protagonist in the story is mostly similar to Llorana in the sense that she drifted from her husband the moment she got children. In the house, the husband never fixed anything, and even he went a step further to indicate he even hates the house. Similarly, he never helped with the kids. On the other hand, they are not similar in that Llorona had rage that made her raise her hand and pushed her kind to the river. This was because she saw her husband with another woman making her very hungry.
As always, please comment on at least one classmate's response, mentioning their name.
Dear, Simranpreet Kur, I agree with your response to question two. I reviewed the notes that were left to the Virgin of Guadalupe were emotional, and the people had faith in the Virgin would help health their wounds. However, I think that the note that I considered to be was special is the one that a grandma wrote to make sure the granddaughter’s cancer operation took place smoothly. The sad latter was very special as it showed that the grandmother cared for her grandchild and the love was intense. This is not to say the note you selected is not emotional. Probably, my opinion was different. But how you understand of the note is excellent. Primarily, the story you selected presents has the responsible parent to ensure that their kids are well catered for, and they have everything to make it in life.
