This Is How You Loose Her
Channell Williams Professor Blitshteyn February 27, 2013 This is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz Nilda Junot Diaz expresses his feelings through his literary work, This is How You Lose Her. The reactions through the female characters he has describe in his life (fragment finish your thought. The reactions of who? In his life what? ). Nilda is a promiscuous girl who was the main character’s brother’s girlfriend who represents a part of the main character’s life. Nilda represents how both men and women can be on the same level of equality.
Nilda is part of the main character’s life by viewing how the relationship process flows. The relationship goes from infidelity to being dumped and then abjectly begging forgiveness. The main character experiences many feelings through the relationships that he has gone through. Watching the process unfold help the main character noticed many flaws what both men and women have to deal with. Men and women have many different pleasures and happiness to keep them satisfied in their lives. Without these series of pleasures, individuals cannot enjoy themselves with their happiness.
The general stereotype is women being inferior, weak, and fragile; however, in today’s world, represented by this literary work, women can be strong and superior. Both men and women can be the same level in Western (I’m assuming the story took place in the western hemisphere? Correct me if I am wrong. However, “society” is a vague word and you would need to specify which society. Western? Eastern? Caribbean? ) society. Nilda wanted to achieve her dream of opening up a group home for runaway kids, but Rafa (who is rafa? Introduce the character here. Ex. Rafa, the main character, …. ) did not care.
After telling her boyfriend about her future dream, Rafa has shown not much interest into the guy (What guy? ). Nilda left (left where? ) with embarrassment that she could not reach her goal without the support that she needs. Nilda is trying to live up to a man’s expectations of learning to handle and run her life herself (A man’s expectations is for women to run their own lives? How does it tie into your thesis? ). Nilda also have the attitude of being strong headed but also portrays the type of person that needs love and affection from a guy. Nilda felt so relieved when she met her boyfriend Rafa.
She can achieve her goals, but she is experiencing some contradictions of achieving her goal. Rafa did not show that he really cares about his girlfriend’s future. Without the love and support she does feel that she would not be able to make it (Don’t end your sentences in prepositions. Rephrase). Nilda also shows her toughness and hold back her tears. She hangs out with the guys and pleases her boyfriend. She would do anything to make her boyfriend happy. Without that sense of security, Nilda would not feel comfortable personally (awkward phrasing you need to rephrase this.
Maybe you can say she did not feel comfortable with her new personality due to the various compromises she had to make for her boyfriend). Not being happy with one’s self, causes an individual to lose his or her true self. Nilda had judgments from her mother and Rafa about what she wants to do for her future. The author, Junot Diaz portrays, his feelings about life through his novel This is How You Lose Her (You already said this! Too Repetative! Take it out or rephrase! ). The author used a female character Nilda. She showed how men and women can be equal in every respect such as dreams, jobs, and class.
Nilda would do anything to thrive throughout her life. Without these types of competition and class in society there would not be any separation and obstacles to get through in life. This is a whole new thought! You are obligated to explain and support. So I suggest you take it out and close with something that ties into your thesis of equality. I have separated your works in paragraphs best I can. When you read it over and fix it make sure you have transitions from paragraph to paragraph. Try to avoid a lot of repetition by rephrasing. Otherwise much better than last time.
