By using humor and impartial words, she does not alienate either of her audiences. In addition to her language, Alonso’s argument does not attempt to claim that all aspects of examinations are not without flaws. She also does not dismiss any frustrations that come with examinations; rather, Alonso asks that students and teachers connect examinations to a larger meaning.

La Transcendencia de la Memoria Aura explores the corporeality of aging, the eternalness of desire, and the struggle against mortality through the use of memory and narrative. Carlos Fuentes uses the innovative narrative technique of second person narration in the present and future tenses to dramatize for the reader the sense of the peculiar amidst the familiar. Throughout the novel, he characterizes the initial realistic entry into a story that grows more disarming, more fantastical, yet more psychologically real as it evolves towards its strange conclusion. Through his novel, Fuentes raises the philosophical discussion of the concept of time in human existence. Philosophy professor David Hoy of UC Santa Cruz states in his book titled

The intensity varies across the group size due to the frequency and duration of intervention and the level of training of the professionals (Robins, 2013).

I found that a monument is a statue, structure or building or historical importance. In this case, Miss Emily is one because she somehow represents the past by not letting go of it, like when she refuses to pay her taxes, thinking, like in the past, that she is not required to because of her father’s standing in society.

Among these stained sheets is a plain white sheet with a nameless plate. “Dinesen’s blank page,” writes Gubar, “becomes radically subversive, the result of one woman’s deficiency which must have cost either her life or her honor [is] Not a sign of innocence or purity or passivity, this blank page is a mysterious but potent act of resistance” (89). The blank page shows the silence of women but it proves female resistance
