Description
Rewrite the paper using the comments that were given in the attached file.
Read María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, biographical entry (246-248); from The Squatter and the Don (248-255).
Re-read the following passage from The Squatter and the Don:
At five minutes to two, Señor Alamar, accompanied by Mr. Mechlin, arrived in a buggy; his two sons followed on horseback. Clarence had time to look at them leisurely while they dismounted and tied their horses to a hitching post.
“They are gentlemen, no doubt,” observed Clarence.
“You bet they are,” Romeo coincided. Evidently he admired and liked them.
“How much the boys look like the old man,” Tom said.
“They look like Englishmen,” was Clarence’s next observation.
“Yes, particularly Victoriano; he is so light he looks more like a German, I think,” said Romeo.
“I think Gabriel is very handsome,” Tom said, “only of late he seems always so sad or thoughtful.” (249).
Be sure to quote and analyze words, phrases, or sentences from the text (just as you did in the close reading assignment). You may use prior blog posts and blog responses to build your paper. (You can even quote classmates.)
