2.) Even after they made the arpilleras they still all went out in groups to protest the dictatorship. In the readings, there was more focus on the secret meetings, while in the video they emphasized some of the more visible activism outside of torture centers and hospitals.

"Suburban right-wing women who opposed Allende organized the dramatic "March of the Empty Pots," parading through Santiago while banging their empty cooking pots to protest food shortages".

fortitude created at the birth of the arpillera

movement almost 30 years ago is still

very much alive in today’s Chile, where a

woman who was once tortured and exiled

rules the country with a sense of unity and

a profound belief that in order to forge a

decent future Chileans must remember

their grim past. " - Riley

"It sealed all media outlets,

suspended all political parties, and

destroyed any group that dissented," (p. 13).

The narrator is using her dream to reconnect to her memories of her passed relatives. It's mentioned in a similar section how the dream recreates her relatives image and voice better than her memory ever could. In her connection between dreams and memories, dreams serve as a deeper connection between the subconscious and deeper memories that may be lost somewhere in our brains. Since it was the dream that predicated the narrator's pregnancy, it is a nod to our subconscious having a deeper connection to our physical body than our conscious mind at times.

To me, this passage really encapsulates the interconnectedness of memory to who we are as people, even what are brain shows us when we sleep. Sleep and dreams are used to help us process memories and so dreams are sort of their own type of memory in a way. So many times me or someone in my family will have a dream and we'll wake up and say how like I'm mad at my sister b/c she did something in my dream and it's something that she totally would do, and that is another layer of of relationship and understanding of our memories and what we know.
