Reminds Me of El Salvador
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Argueta's poems deal with his life in El Salvador and after immigrating to the US, his life in San Francisco. The poems are very simple. Personally, I think some could be better. I did like some like the one about playing "yoyo" which has a nice play of words in Spanish. Another one that I connected to is "leaving El Salvador" I found myself in very similar circunstances when I came here too. The best part of the book are the illustrations by Elizabeth Gomez. I love her art! It is very colorful and realistic. It's a good book to get to know the culture of "los salvadoreños." We need more books on our country.
