Woman Hollering Creek by Sandra Cisneros

I enjoyed this story because it is realistic, it has important messages, and you need to analyze it well to understand it the way it deserves to be understood. Cleofilas is actually mexican, but she is a romantic woman that when she gets married she wishes to have a better life like in "telenovelas", but suddenly she finds out that not everything is like in tv. She finds herself living with a violent and non-understanding husband and in a house between Soledad and Dolores and nearby a river named "Woman Hollering Creek".
You can loose yourself in the story because it is really confusion but in the end that is what makes the story different, and also the symbols, the names of Dolores and Soledad have a very strong and important symbol in Cleofilas life, and the name of the river she lives by also. Felice is a symbol we can't leave behind, since she represents the freedom and the happiness of leaving the fears, the pain and the loneliness in the past to look forward to a new life.

"Then Felice began laughing again, but it wasn't Felice laughing. It was gurgling out of her own throat, a long ribbon of laughter, like water."
