Read this passage. I recall watching the fields and pastures outside my window slowly transform into roads, factories, and high-

D.  It provides a high-interest ‘hook.”

When you begin an essay, you’ll want to do begin with a “hook”—an element that really catches your reader’s attention (the way a fish hook would catch a fish).  Typical hooks include using quotations, asking questions to have readers ponder, providing startling statistics or facts, or telling a bit of a story which is what was done here by how the text teases readers by creating a sense of anticipation as to what will be mentioned next that got the author so curious.

Ostrovityanka [42]
Marginalized people who are treated differently day to day have a breaking point. In the poem the rage Mama had, was built up over time, but like many people who are stepped all over; they break. Putting up with the daily rudeness of others because of skin color or the language you speak can really take a toll on entire families. In stanza five lines 19 and 20, the author states, “Mama became a woman swept/ by sobering madness;”. This infers that the character mama in the poem isn’t one who puts up with being treated differently as a latino woman living in Watts, Los Angeles. The author Luis J. Rodriguez and the main character “mama” have a lot in common, he lived the perspective that the poem portrays. Through this poem, the author was sure to best interpret his experience living in Watts as a young man. He could create a sense of imagery to the poem, the corner stores ran by rich white men with no leniency to the poor living in the ghettos of LA. Living in poverty and racial diversity has many negatives, in coming to the United States for freedom individuals and their family live the hardships mentioned in the poem, spreading awareness to the problems that poor cities must endure to feed their families.
