Question

What feature of alinger seemed to repel the mother and the father in the short story last breathe

Answer 1

Answer:

My mother must have been intrigued. She knew

nothing of the horrid crimes of the dictatorship, for her

parents were afraid to say anything-even to their own

children-against the regime. So, as a young girl, my

mother must have thought of El Jefe as a kind of movie

star. She must have wanted to meet the great man.

1. Her mother's image of the great man did not match

reality

2. Her mother loved movie stars when she was a

young girl.

3. Her mother and her family kept secrets from one

another.

4. Her family talked about the horrid crimes of the

dictatorship.
