Quotation Response #1 - Rehana

"The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned"


This quote implies to the relationship between Bodega and Vera in the novel Bodega Dreams. In the story Bodega love for Vera still exist but it was never returned to him because Vera had to move on with her life and may possibly forgotten him. I agree with this quote because You can't always do something and expect something in return. In some situations the love between two people can be so strong that it doesn't need to returned as long as that love exists. This quote may also imply to a sacrifice made by a lover due to the situation of their relationship. For example Bodega had sacrificed his love for Vera's happiness because he thought he didn't deserve her and maybe it was best for Vera to be married with someone who had money.

* Do you predict at some point in the story Bodega's love for Vera will be returned?

* Suppose Vera denies Bodegas proposal, how will he react?

*How will Vera feel about Bodegas job in the community and will she accept it?

  1. Great job Rehana. I think you wanted to use the word "apply" not "imply" but I thought your observations were spot on otherwise. The questions you pose are good ones too and I hope your classmates take the time to respond.
