“El Salvador” by Javier Zamora

Zamora

________ uses personification, imagery, and repetitive contradiction, to state how his relationship with El Salvador is complicated, and even though he despises many aspects of it he will always love his home.

Zamora

________ represents the conflict between the good and bad things with more imagery and metaphor, such as black bags referring to death since these kinds of bags are used to keep dead bodies, pollen representing blood, and the high amount of violence occurring in the streets as he says "Your barrios stain you with pollen, red liquid pollen "(________), and brushing Abuelitas hair, the pots, and pans symbolizing the lovable assets of El Salvador: the innocent things that keep ________ loving El Salvador despite the war, government, and other negative issues.
