I agree with Jessica when she said that reading these stories at times makes her doubt her Spanish. I too wonder how much Spanish I really know if I am having to look up almost every other word. Besides that, I really did enjoy los cuentos after getting past all of the vocabulary look ups. My favorite story had to have been, Las Medias Rojas, like so many others. I really like the idea of the American Dream in here. It is so interesting to see what people think of other countries. Ildara had this view of golden roads in her head. She was thinking that America would be the best place ever. Maybe any place other than where her abusive Tio Clodio is could be considered equal to a place lined with golden roads for Ildara?
It was made clear in the text that she was willing to sacrifice her freedom, security and even her life to get out of Galicia.
