Question

In Danticat's The Farming of Bones, in an interior monologue, which character says, "You ask for perejil, I give you more"?

1) Amabelle
2) Senora Valencia
3) Man Rapadou
4) Yves

Answer 1

The character 1)Amabelle from 'The Farming of Bones' says, "You ask for perejil, I give you more."

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat, the character who says the internal monologue, "You ask for perejil, I give you more," is 1)Amabelle.

The line embodies the broader themes of identity, memory, and survival that run throughout the novel.

The use of the word 'perejil' which means parsley, is particularly significant as it alludes to the Parsley Massacre of 1937 where the pronunciation of this word was used to identify Haitians living in the Dominican Republic.
