This month took us into the literature of the twentieth century. Modernism took this century by storm. We read different poets, among them Julia de Burgos from Puerto Rico. In reading this poem we were able to see the use of dual perspective. In her poem “A Julia de Burgos”, she writes to herself from the perspective of her true self to her social self. As complicated as that sounds, it was a lot of work to pull both points of view apart and have an idea of what struggles the poet was going through at the time.
We also did an overview of the Spanish literature across the centuries as a review of the perspectives and the themes that predominated across the centuries. We saw how the literature influenced the perspective of the people very much the same way that media influences our perspective today.
