Question

3. What adjectives and phrases does Zamora use to describe her childhood vacation home in Connecticut? What does she compare the landscape to? What can we infer about her feelings toward that place today?

4. How does Zamora describe her experience of speaking with teenagers in the United States? Who does Zamora's cousin compare her to? What can we infer about how Zamora felt at that time? (4-5 sentences)

Answer 1

Zamora used a lot of adjectives and phrases to characterize her upbringing as being perfect; she likened the scenery to something straight out of a fairy tale. We can assume that she still feels the same way about that location because those vacation days are filled with joyful recollections. Speaking with kids in the United States, according to Zamora, was an unusual experience for them all because of their use of slang, thus they listened to her with shock and disdain. Zamora's cousins liken her to a philosopher due to the way she speaks. It would seem that Zamora was discouraged right now.
