Latina Poetry as an Expression of Cultural Heritage

Question 3 • IS11100 CA-English 11 09

What is the advantage of reading from three different perspectives in Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban?

Answer
I
It breaks up the narrative and prevents the plot line from becoming bogged down in one particular place or time.
I
It allows the writer to experiment with a variety of different writing styles, as every speaker sounds distinctively different.
T
The different perspectives underscore the larger idea that immigrants or exiles must shed their native traditions.
I
It provides the reader with multiple perspectives on the Cuban Revolution and on the differences between life in Cuba and exile in the US.

Explanation

The novel presents events through the perspectives of three women in the same family, whose experiences and loyalties differ. This lets readers see the Cuban Revolution and life in Cuba and the United States from more than one viewpoint. Choice D captures that advantage; the other choices either focus on a different effect or claim a theme the perspectives do not chiefly serve.
