It s expressive in terms of how we use words so freely, and the attitudes that are shown so freely. This attitude in American literature may be because it is a reflection of the lifestyle that we currently live in. One of the attitudes that Americans are good at expressing in literature, is anger.
Anger is a very powerful emotion used in literature.
So, because it s so powerful anger in literature is used to stir up intense emotion from the audience. The story is about a young Puerto Rican girl, Elena, who lived at the time that President Kennedy was shot. She begins to like a young white boy named Eugene, who lives right beside her. When the girls said this to Elena, she was humiliated. From this I feel that the author was making the audience angry at that fact that there would be such material in a story.
