Los Vendidos

This play is by Luis Valdez, it talks about a group of people that are called chicanos that criticize the mexicans that believe they are americans, like Señorita Jiménez. The play is about that lady and her desire to buy machines that look Mexican - Americans. The seller presents every model with mexican characteristics. Until this part, I didn't like the story very much because I thought it was humiliating and had a lot of stereotypes. 

The end is the best part because it takes a big unexpected turn. After the lady bought the mexican-american model, the models take the money and the lady escapes. Also, now we know that all are humans except of the sales man. The author made me think that the americans just see us like merchandise and machines, and I didn't like it. Even though,  at the end we were more intelligent than the americans.

Starry Night

I think that in this poem she connects her fears with imaginative creatures for example the “great dragon”, “rushing beast of the night”, and “unseen serpent”. In the end, the poem gets shorter and it seems like if it fades into nothing. She wants to decide how her life will end and form part of the sky. In the poem, the town is described as silent, blank, dead, and the sky is full of life and glory.

After reading this poem, I thought that the earth is insignificant, like empty, and being compared with the sky full of stars and beauty. She is depressed and the only thing she wants to do is to die in the dark night watching all the stars in the sky. And in that way she will find her happiness as the night faded. 

Wanting To Die

Wanting to die by Anne Sexton is a poem quite simple that gives all the reasons and the explanation of her wish to die. It talks about the several times she tried to suicide. Also, she mentions a 'betrayal' of her body. She believes that death will take her to a better.

I like this poem because the way she expresses and her use of metaphors and comparisons are great. But, sometimes I feel like sad and kind of depressive when I think of how her life was. It's sad to know that a person has no purpose in life and that deals with depression. Also, her entertainment was to think as many ways to commit suicide.

Her Kind

I read "Her Kind" by Anne Sexton. This poem is now my favorite. I really liked how she chooses the correct words to give the reader the sense of emotion. Also she traps you, and you want to know what is going to happen next.

This poem is about how society has stereotype how woman should be, but Anne Sexton decides that if she has to act like a certain way she will prefer to die rather to be like all the others. I really identificate with this idea, because every person should act the way they want to, instead of following the others.
I would like to read more poems by her.
