I loved this book! Good choice! I know what you will be writing about, and you have six sources, so that is a great start! When I did my page (it's on a novel), I used another novel in which to model mine after (I used Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer). Since "...Yo No Se Lo Trago La Tierra" by Tomas Riviera was one of your sources, perhaps it is a page you can model your article after? It could be helpful since it is also about Mexican American persons in addition to having similar themes as Viramontes. If you are trying to think of ways to begin, I also found it helpful to think of the function of what I wanted to say. Is it chapter summaries? Is it themes? Is it a general overview? Is it an introduction of the text? Those could be your headers if you'd like, and again using a reference article is something I found to be helpful. If you have questions feel free to ask me in class (this is Madison)! Cheers. Madisonnroot (talk) 21:36, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Zimmer Peer Review # 2

This sounds really interesting! I really like how the La Brea Tar Pits are being mentioned in the novel. As someone who has lived in Southern California for a short amount of time, I would always hear people discuss the significance of the Tar Pits. Besides, it is very close to where I used to live. You did a good job with leading this article with the historical significance of the Migrant workers in California during the 1960's. As a reader, it catches my eye and informs me of what this article will entail. The importance of Cesar Chavez's involvement in the Delano Grape Strike makes the novel really clear because it relates to a huge historical figure and in turn, sets the pace for what the novel is about.

Here are some things I can suggest for revision: When you mention the La Brea tar pits in Chapter 2 and how it is a trope to devour, I am not sure what the critic Buford really means. What if you discussed that further in your chapter 2 section? How are the La Brea Tar Pits a trope? Also, I think the most important thing you could possibly look into (when revising if possible) is to discuss the themes in the novel before diving into the plot. For example, the narrator's strategy to weave the consciousness between the main characters could be placed right after you discuss your leading few sentences.

Lastly, I found it really useful to include the cultural significance for this novel because I know my article could have some cultural significance with the historical figure I am editing for my article. It not only goes into the themes of the novel but the historical impact with the Latino workers.
