-So far this week I have had a good amount of work to catch up to and I was pretty successful with it. Also, my classes have been going well and I have developed a better understanding of the book we are reading, Drown. I also was able to hand in all of my tasks.
Go back to the beginning. What’s interesting or ironic about the way the narrator calls Beto a “pato” (offensive term for homosexuals)? What does it suggest to you about this narrator? What do you notice about the way the narrator narrates the past and present? For example, skim back over the first 1.5 pages. What is his mind doing as his body gets up and goes outside? Where do you see Diaz repeat the visual motif of people seated beside each other (it comes up at least twice in this story)? So what? How do you find yourself responding to it? FFW: When the narrator calls Beto a “pato”,which is an offesive term for homosexuals,what does it suggests to me about the narrator is that the narrator might be homophobic so he refers to homosexuals with his slur, "pato."Additionally, Beto might have said something to the narrator that set him off causing him to utilize this slur...
