1 A strong memoir includes VIVID DETAILS to bring the past back to life. How do the details Cofer includes support her THESIS that Latinas are poorly understood and grossly stereotyped? Identify TWO of these details and explain how they help her make her case.
2 How does Cofer end her essay? What is the significance of the ending?
3 What is the PURPOSE of this memoir? What do you think Cofer hopes it to achieve? Where in the essay does she make that hope explicit?
4 Cofer explains that the way Puerto Rican women dress in Puerto Rico is “read” very differently by other people than when they dress in the same way elsewhere in the United States. What is the difference between the two responses? What role do you think dress should play in how people “read” or perceive other people?
