Read the two excerpts about Jorge del Pino from Dreaming in Cuban. Excerpt 1: My grandfather came running and said, “Celia, let
the girl go. She belongs with Lourdes.” Excerpt 2: “Pilar doesn’t hate you, hija. She just hasn’t learned to love you yet.” Which statement best synthesizes the ideas in these two excerpts? Jorge understands that mother-daughter relationships can be complex. Jorge values his relationship with his daughter more than the one with his wife. Jorge wants more than anything to build a closer relationship with his granddaughter. Jorge wants his family to value their Cuban background and stay together.
Second person point of view is when the writer uses “you” as the main character in a narrative. Example using the first line of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man: 1st person: “I am an invisible man.” 2nd person: “You are an invisible man.”
