The Achievement of Desire – Richard Rodriguez
I think the reason so many of us were able to relate to this piece is because it deals with an era in the narrators life that we are all experiencing currently. Obviously the major difference is that he is a grown man looking back and reflecting on the different influences around him, and his family life during this time period. At the end of the piece I wasn’t really sure if the author was trying to make a specific point or pass on learned wisdom. Of course as an author there is always a point that your trying to convey, but I feel as though this is a text that requires more than one reading to fully grasp the message.
If others enjoyed this passage, or found it an easy read and are looking for something similar a great short novel is The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It’s a great book about the experiences of a teenage boy, the story beings as he starts high school and progress as he approaches graduation. We meet his family, and friends. The entire story is told through a series of letters, almost the way The Diary of Anne Frank would read. The difference is that these are letters that this character writes routinely to a third party we never meet, as opposed to diary entries. Whats really special about the book is that the reader is able to learn just as much about all the major characters as in any other traditional novel.

If you live in Weston Florida and plan on refinancing an existing mortgage or get a new mortgage beware of scam artist Tulio J. Rodriguez. This so called “Mortgage & Finance Specialist” will tell you just about anything to get your business. His group of scavengers “Real Estate Agents and Mortgage Specialists” lie through their teeth to take your money.
