Culturally Intresting

As early as ten years old, I can remember enjoying a variety of written literature. This inventory of books includes many of the all time classics; Of Mice and Men, The Giver, Fahrenheit 451, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet’s Odyssey. It was not until I read the book Bless Me, Ultima written by Rudolfo Anaya, that I was actually able to relate to the characters in that story in a way that I had never been able to prior to that reading. As a proud member of the Latino culture, Bless me, Ultima had many factors of grammar and rhetoric that pulled me in farther in than I anticipated. His use of Spanish and English text combined with universal Hispanic situations and phrases, stylized writing, and incredible story made for a written work that was had for me to put down. culturally
