Question

In at least one hundred words, explain how Joe Willow’s comments reflect the themes of the story?.

Answer 1

In this passage from the short story "The Passage by Durango Mendoza" Joe explains how the sun and the stars and how they relate to life and death. The "daddy" is referring to the sun and the "little children" are the stars. This story explores the theme of loss of innocence and moral. This passage further goes into depth with these two themes. The sun setting is the metaphor of death. When the sun "dies" the stars finally come out to be visible. This could be translated into "that a person cannot truly grow up until they experience the loss of a loved one"
