guava

                 Esmeralda Santiago uses many sensory words to enrich her writing. Santiago

helps us understand how a guava taste. She says, that the skin is thick, firm, and sweat.

''the most delicious part of the guava surrounds the tiny seeds''. She can describe the

guava while eating it. They are large and juicy, almost seedless.

                 Esmeralda tells us how it looks and does describe it. ''It feels familiar bumpy and

firm, when the guava is not quite ripe; the skin is still a dark green''. Its heart is bright pink

and almost solid with seeds.

                 Esmeralda talks about how the guava sounds and the smell sensation. When

Esmeralda smells them she can imagine what's inside, she smells it and imagines a pale

pink center, the seeds tightly embedded in the flesh. Everyone can hear the skin, meat, and

seeds crushing inside your head. When enjoying them have another and another, enjoying

them crunchy sounds of the unripe center. She talks about eating her last one she didn't

want t eat it because she would lose the smell.

                  Esmeralda Santiago like any other person that likes guavas and have been

eating them for a long time, can talk and describe them their own way Esmeralda can

describe a guava with visual image, smell, and sound. When Esmeralda smells a guava, s

he talks about the guava being part of her child hood but then she rather walk away from

them and towards the apples and pears, but just criticizes them.

The whole family has to go to church well showered, well dressed and organised, o and with the baby, the baby has to have his parents and god perents holding him wile the priest announses his baptism, then he has to pour some kind of really cold water from a gold tray on to the baby's head, everthing stays quiet for a minuet or two and then the church part done, then everone from the church have to go to the party, not only cause its a party and people need to be there but the church is early in the morning and people are starving and they need to be at that party for the food. Getting tired and agsausted for one hour at church and then realising that there will be food waiting for you at home kind of makes you feel way better. Then all the family coming in sitting down, kind of not paying much attention at anything just chiling waiting for the food to come from the helpers, cant tell what they are serving from the seet but then breathing in it makes you kind of despret but can describe
