There are 2 main characters in this short story, the husband and the wife. The husband is a very developing character. He is mysterious because you see him as having one personality until closer to the end he changes. He loves to tell stories. He is the protagonist.
Junot Diaz’s “How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, Halfie” uses the second person point of view to tell an odd little story. This point of view enhances a story that is at its core a strange tale. I think it is the second person point of view that makes this story interesting and gives it value as a literary work. For me, the second person point of view is as if we are listening to the narrators own thoughts. Because he is thinking to himself the story seems disjointed leaving the reader with a lot of unanswered questions that only to which only the narrator knows the answers.
Tamia sings of how she, and her husband still love each other like the first day they met even though they both have aged, and have kids. Shakespeare says basically the same thing in his sonnet. He claims that true love is constant even though people, and circumstances change. In both works Tamia, and Shakespeare speak about how love conquers all conflict that a relationship may face. Tamia describes in her song that she, and her husband go through problems like everybody else, But she don't mind because the love she, and her husband has for one another allows them to talk it out, and move on with their lives.
After the performance he made Fanny one of the well known 'Ziegfield Follies' for the 1910 edition and helped boost up her journey of becoming a star. If it wasn't for Ziegfield she would of still become a star, but publicity does make everything. Ziefield gave a twist to her. Instead of giving her the typical girly girl beautiful dress songs, he gave Fanny her signature song "My Man" She had done comedy throughout her career so far and now Ziegfield gives her a sad song to sing. I would of thought Ziegfield was loosing it, don't fix what's not broken.
Madera’s desire to overcome her language barrier caused her to decide to go back to college and take English courses (79).

In this folktale, Weeping John is constantly sick because he is worried about how his family will survive after his death (Gold 148).
I oughta go down and say hello to her, at least” (32). It is obvious that Holden has some interest in Jane and that she may have some interest in him but Holden can’t even bring himself to go say hello to her. Throughout the rest of the novel, Holden reminisces about Jane and is often tempted to call her and go on a date with her but often finds excuses not to call her. A similar situation is had with Sally Hayes. At first, despite his constant urge to call people and communicate with them, he resists calling Sally because her mom doesn’t like him.

When he first meets Mrs Alexander he tries to ignore here because he cant do ‘chat’ and describes it as ‘boring’. Like I said before, this chapter is mainly to bring the story back to life.
