"Cloudy Day" by Jimmy Santiago Baca is to show how there can always be sunshine on a cloudy day. Meaning that no matter how bad things are, it could possibly b worse, so we should always be optimistic.

The purpose of the flashback is to show how the speaker has changed from the start of his prison time to the end.

As shown in this excerpt from the story, " ...the wind in my face gave me the feeling I could grasp the tower like a cornstalk..." (Lines 15 & 16) This quote shows that even though he was in the prison he still felt powerful.

How does the author use the following line to develop the POV of the fan in the section, "The view from the bleachers"?
Triss [41]

It shows that Perez believes it is a very important moment. Toward the end, he (assumed) uses the words "for our beloved Coyotes." Given that, one could say that Perez is a big fan of the Coyotes. He knows about baseball down to the smallest of details, and this moment was a "frozen in time" moment of importance because of the anticipation.
