or why not?
º Describe the major conflict. What side are you on?
º Describe the main characters.
The characters are realistic in Call Me Marìa by Judith Ortiz Cofer. The main character Marìa is realistic because she just a regular kid that likes to make her parents happy. She lives on an island in Puerto Rico which other people do to, and she leaves the island with her father to live in America. Leaving her mother behind because she is a teacher and worked hard to get that job, but mostly because it is her home. To me all of that is realistic, so is Marìa's character. She's always trying to make her parents happy, its like her job.
The main character's name is Marìa. She is crazy and loves to make people smile. She likes to express herself through poetry. Shes usually always happy and shes never really met other people except those back Puerto Rico so shes shy. She talks different like instead of saying just plain out I want to learn and master English she would say "... conquer English, become strong ..."
The major conflict was when her mother and father where always arguing about whether to stay on the island where her father would always be sad and depressed because he misses his life in America. Or to go to America where her mother will be sad and depressed because she will miss her teaching job after she worked so hard for it. I'm on the mothers side because after all the hard work she has put to getting that job and keeping up to it then she would just throw it away to live somewhere she has never been before. Its not fair to her.
