1. Question from McNees, pp. 100-112 Juan Bosch, "Two Dollar's Worth of Water": What is the moral of this story?

2. Question from McNees, pp. 78-99: Jorge Icaza, "Big Precipice": What does this story tell us about religion in rural Latin America?

3. What is "machismo"? Please give examples.

4. What desires does Mistral express in "The Sonnets of Death", and what was your reaction to them?

5. Compare the way love is presented in the poetry of Mistral and Agustini.

Note: In later versions of this web site we plan to have a "chat room" where you will be able to answer the question, post your answer, have other students (and the instructor) read your comments and make their own comments. For the moment you might want to type your answers in a word processing program and let the instructor have them for extra credit. We will also be discussing these questions orally in class.
