Kindly finish the short story, ...."It Is After.." that begins on page 147
After by Carolina Rivera Escamilla
1. Rumors circulate of imminent war. Write a five sentence story of what you think.
2. Your parents tell you that arrangements have already been made that you will leave the country and that tomorrow you will be taken away by yourself to enter illegally into another country so that you might work to send back money. You are not allowed to take anything with you...describe how you feel.
3. Your father built a house, but he does not let you call it a house, but a mansion. Why do you think he insists on calling the house the mansion?
4. From where do you draw your language to create a story or poem? How does language relate to identity?
5. Write your own chapter beginning.....it is after.....
