Anaya, the text uses phrases and words in Spanish to convey the deep meanings of the essay: the respect and warmth the author felt toward his grandfather, and the importance of honoring the older generation. For instance, Anaya 's usage of the first phrase, “‘Buenos días le de Dios, abuelo.’ God give you a good day, grandfather,” in Spanish, not only emphasizes the importance of the phrase to him, but also relays that he carries deep respect for his grandfather (Anaya 240).
