Question

Hey, I have this story in my Spanish 3 class I have to answer questions for in essay format in Spanish. The story is a folktale, La Pobreza, where Death comes to take Poverty away and involves guava bushes. I don't get a lot of the story's moral implications. Can anyone name these and answer these questions? Thanks a bundle:

1. Cual era mas importante para la vieja Pobreza, la mata de huaya o la Muerte? Por que?

2. Que significa cuando la autora dice que el senor de la Muerte no se llevo a la Pobreza aunque era vieja?

3. Da algunas caracteristicas del personaje de la Muerte en este cuento. La autora lo presenta como un personaje tragico y serio o no?

   If you don't know the story and want to read it, please indicate in your comment and i will be happy to oblige.

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum! As per forum rules, we will not complete homework for you, only proofread and give light feedback once you've made an honest attempt to do it yourself. Perhaps it would help to re-read the story a few more times with each of these questions in mind, noting important key words and phrases that might give you some context where you would otherwise not understand what's happening.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

Someone would need to read the story to entertain answering these questions. Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Haha thanks! I know, but reading the story would take quite a while (3 pages), so I was hoping someone would konw it. If you have the time though, I can give you the link? - PanchoMoz, Apr 6, 2010
