On page 220 cleófilas and her husband on sitting near the creek as she remembers her fathers last words to her and she is thinking and say ¨How when a man and a women love each other, sometimes that love sours.But a parents love for a child, a childs for its parent, is another thing entirely¨(Cisneros,Pg 220). My interpretation of this is that, a woman and mans love can go bad or even leave each other, but the love for the child will never die because the child is their creation.

Cleófilas father is giving her away to her husband but as she is about to leave the father says "I´am your father, I will never abandon you"(Cisneros,219). This is explaining how even if she leaves to go somewhere with a man, her father will always be there for her even if she ever comes back.

The author in this short story had changed the setting many times, starting from a little town in mexico and going to Texas to their new little town near the creek. In this little town in Texas the way it is explained is that it is a peaceful little town with a beautiful river behind their house.I think the creek serves as a metaphorical boundary between the Cleófilas old life in Mexico and her new life in the United States. How the normal things in mexico are seen as different and weird in the united states, like how the baby can't walk around naked and things like that.

Something that is heavily repeated is the use of the Novelas and how our main characters tries to apply what she sees in the show to her real life. One example where it happens is, she is talking about how she wouldn't let her self get hit and do nothing like how they do it in the shows. But when her husband slapped her she did nothing and just stayed quiet. It was stated that she tried to do the same hair styles from the shows she would watch or she would copy the way they would speak and other things along that time.

Something that could be an allusion could be the Mexican legend of "La Llorona". This allusion could be made through the creek's name itself, as "Hollering" is a translation of "Llorona." Llorona is a tragic figure who is said to haunt bodies of water, mourning the loss of her children. By alluding to this legend, the author adds on too cultural richness and symbolism to the story, connecting itself with to loss, grief, and the struggles faced by women in Mexican-American who are immigrants
