Tortilla Curtain

This book by TC Boyle included a lot of symbolism which is interesting because that helps the reader visualize the words they are reading. The coyote represents the illegal immigrants and the natural disaster captures the powerlessness aspect of the novel. This presentation was very well done. I am impressed by the author speaking 24 languages. It is an inspiration for me because I have always wanted to learn more languages. I liked the video because it gave us a sense of the author's humorist personality. I also liked the fact that the book is written from four different points of views because it gives us a realistic sense of what is going on.
