Emily Hontiveros Ms. Albuquerque English I - Honors 13 October 2014 The Chocolate War: Chapters 11-20 Response Journals Something I dislike in the novel is the amount of sport terminology used.

Khanya Ramey Sye English 2 9 September 14 SSR Journal #1 Brave New World In this book the author uses many different characters with different personalities.

Laura Esquivel in the book “Like Water For Chocolate” uses many strategies throughout the book like imagery ,and exaggeration. Both imagery and exaggeration helped develop the tone and the mood ,and set the purpose the passages that were given to us by Esquivel.

The use of words that Esquivel uses gives us a better understanding of the strategies being used by the author, and what she is trying to say by using those words. There are many other strategies that Esquivel uses, but exaggeration and imagery have a huge role in the book, and not only in the passage where she describes Nacha, but in others where the food is involved.
Freedom: “But I did ended up talking to Sugarberry about his behavior before; and I still feel bad for him. Since Sugarberry said that he caused his own world to be destroyed; and yes, I did ended up saying and doing bad things to him before too, like the raining chocolate incident, because I really didn’t like him and wanted for him to feel the same pain that I was dealing with. Since I have to be constantly dealing with all of the trapped people’s voices in my head, because I can’t save them. I also don’t hate Sugarberry now; since I just want to help him, because the poor guy doesn’t know to make people happy without physically and emotionally harming

My novel choice is “The brave New world” by Aldous Huxley, I chose this novel because my teacher recommended me to try it. The title of the book “ brave new world” kind of catches my attention, first of all because the title have a very specific meaning I guess related to the story.
