Hyperbole: In Chapter 3 of LWFC Gertrudis felt an overwhelming amount of lust which when describes made it to where her body gave off so much heat that it physically cause the wood to start to split which isn't possible.

Symbolism: Symbolism is another literary device that was used all through out LWFC especially when fire was mentioned as it often symbolized the passion felt throughout the book.

Imagery: This literary device really helped us the readers visualize and understand what was happening with Tita or with Tita and her mother as Esquivel writes every detail in a way that helps us visualize it in our minds.

Irony: Last Literary device is Irony only because I feel that nobody talks about how Tita was able to feed Pedro's child but his own wife couldn't even do so.

Irony: The persona later makes a joke about her body being a house where love comes to die when in all honestly she’s not joking at all.

Personification: The poem ‘the house’ the persona compared their body to being a house to which gave this inanimate object human characteristics. By the comparing their self to a house

The exposures I’ve experienced throughout this year: The culture that I learned throughout LWFC with how the book during each chapter actually gave you a recipe and then incorporating into the story still as it being the featured dish or home remedies.

As for the exposures I've experienced in The House it would have to be the fact that people tend to view themselves differently after something terrible happening to them.

Mother says there are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust,
bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy.
Sometimes the men - they come with keys,
and sometimes, the men - they come with hammers.

Nin soo joog laga waayo, soo jiifso aa laga helaa,

I said Stop, I said No and he did not listen.

The House: The lesson learned through 'The House' is that whatever you do to someone it lives with them forever as if a roommate in their 'home' just another room added into their house.

Like water for chocolate: There a several different lessons that are in like water for chocolate. A few being a lesson of learning how to be independent and standing your own ground and another being you love whoever you want to love

Tita and the persona presented in the poem have a few similarities but not a lot. In a way you could see that due to mama Elena’s actions by keeping Tita from having her chance at love

Theme(s): Overall themes for ‘The house’ were failing Romance/ having the inability to show affection, returning memories, having the ability to have a choice plus a heavier topic being SA. It’s implied in the text that something happened to which the symbolism of ‘the house’ is referring to ones body and how people just let themselves into this ‘house’

Theme: dying romance, food, family traditions

After reading LWFC and The House I can definitely say that I view the world a bit differently now as one showed a female gaining empowerment and another losing it but still trying to be strong and its truth in society for some people whether it be the family situation there in where they have little to no control in their life but being able to find the way to gain it back or trying to build their way up to regaining the power they once lost.
