While her mother suggests the green taffeta dress hanging in her closet, Elenita decides by herself and wears something else, which is considered inappropriate for New year's celebration though.
Thereby (C.)
Explanation:
Elenita's internal conflict is to find her independent identity, even though she still feels deeply connected to her family, and wearing inappropriate clothes is a way to trace her independence, and define who she is.
One way in which the character Elenita in
"Gravity" shows her independence is by wearing clothes that are
inappropriate for a New Year's celebration.
Gravity was written by Judith Ortiz Cofer. <span>Ortiz Cofer is best known for her works of
creative nonfiction, and she began her writing career with poetry, which she
felt “contains the essence of language.” </span>
