Answer: In the story "The Myth of the Latin Woman" there are several stereotypes described about women of Latin descent. The writer, Judith Ortiz Cofer, describes some situations that a woman goes through in her life and how she is being stereotyped in the Anglo-American culture.  

The different kinds of Latina women in the story are; housemaids, domestic staff, women who are "sexually expressive," that the women are all singers and people start singing songs like La Bamba when they are around, the woman in the story is called "Evita" at a bar only because she is a Latino. Other kinds are the Latino women dress in many layers, wear a lot of jewelry,  and play "dress up" colorful clothing only.  

The main point of the story is that for a Puerto Rican woman is the "island traveled with you" wherever you go.

Identify two situations where Rukmani refers to the gods and goddesses throughout the novel. What do these situations reveal abo
Digiron [165]

The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:

"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."

Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.
