EQ: What's up with the MOON imagery?
"Meanwhile, she looked out the taxicab window at the moon that followed her all the way from L.A. to Tijuana to now, through the dark streets of Mexico City. The ever-changing moon, her only companion, she knew well after many years" (22).
"The moon that night was a crescent moon. By then Adelina already knew the moon had eight phases. Eight ways she presented herself to the world" (23).
"It has two faces. She only shows one face to the world. Even though it changes shape constantly, it's always the same face we see. But her second face, her second face remains hidden in darkness. That's the face no one can see. People call it the dark side of the moon. Two identities. Two sides of a coin. Now isn't that interesting?" (24- Carlos is talking to Juana).
Literary Motif: an image, sound, action or other figure that has a symbolic significance and contributes toward the development of message/theme of the work. It often acts as a signal in the book.
