One repetition that I found on the cover of the “The Method” was the deteriorated paint on the houses. Another repetition was the broken windows. Another aspect that I noticed was the shingles were ripped off. So what? maybe the houses are old. So what? The worn paint would be a good example of an old house. So what? The shingles were ripped off so maybe something specific happened to them. So what? A storm could have ripped off the shingles. So what? The glass was broken and boarded up so maybe the storm destroyed those too. So what? the bricks seem fairly new so maybe the houses aren’t very old at all.

In the reading “Notes of A Native Daughter” the author Sandra Cisneros repeats many aspects, but one thing that I found in particular is the concept of love for her old town. the first strand that I found was in the lines “I always feel a chest-swelling when I drive along the lake”. So what? the author was trying to throw in small word such as chest-swelling to show that the author cared for her old home. So what? maybe she still hadn’t obtained true happiness because of her love of her old town. Another example that I found was in the line “but I have to thank, Chicago, for my education”. So what? shows that even though the hatred toward her old home town is strong, she still holds love for it in a unique way. So what? She obtained memories exist even after she obtained happiness.
