Question

How does cisneros use imagery to characterize salvador in "Salvador, late or early" ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the short story “Salvador Late or Early”, by Sandra Cisneros, Cisneros uniquely describes the main character Salvador. She uses detail, imagery, and diction to characterize Salvador in her short story. When she was describing Salvador, she makes it very simple to recognize the advance detail put in. In the first sentence, she stuffs and fills it with details, details, details, but also leaves you wanting to read more and more, leaving a complete description half empty, but full enough to question and want more.She narrates the passage, and tells the reader about Salvador’s eyes being the “color of caterpillar”. First, it makes you think, and even start to draw a picture of what it might look like in your head. Then she speaks, as if she is a bad conscience, a mean and almost bully like, and says that Salvador is a “boy who is no one’s friend”. Harsh much? She talks about how sad of a life he is having and puts details enough to make you have a deep emotion. Cisneros characterizes Salvador her best as she writes in great imagery.
