In the beginning of the dream, he's flying over the fields of sugarcane, and many of the objects in his dream take on human traits. The personification of the wind demonstrates that Juan is knows the wind as a gentle giant, another part of life, as calm and lovely as everything else. He notices the shades of green waving in the wind, green being a sign of life, and the fields extend infinitely in all directions, signifying boundlessness. His flying represents not necessarily freedom, but a different view on life. A birds-eye view, where everything -the future, the present and the past- can be seen from one place, Juan's eyes. This is the perspective of a child, on that is boundless, where loveliness and the future possibilities grow out in all directions, creating the scene he knows as life.

Very nice, Lenna--you are moving in the right direction! I do think you could have probably chosen either the personification of the wind or the child's perspective and really explored that, rather than including them both.
ReplyDeleteI know it's hard when you have two great ideas, but you will have to learn to make those choices when we start to write papers!
Good job--I am sure your classmates will have a lot to say about your post!
