“He had nice eyes and I didn’t feel so nervous anymore. Then he asked if I knew what day it was, and when I said I didn’t, he said it was his birthday and would I please give him a birthday kiss. I thought I would because he was so old and just as I was about to put my lips on his cheek, he grabs my face with both hands and kisses me hard on the mouth and doesn’t let go.” (Cisneros 55) This demonstrates how Esperanza is taken advantage of by an older man; he kisses her by force and this makes her wonder if all guys are like this, or at least wonders why he had done that. Also Esperanza goes through a similar situation where another guy who was younger takes advantage of her and rapes her; this impacted her way of thinking, “Sally you lied.

First we will deal with Shakespeare’s “The Seven Ages of Man. The poem commences with life being compared to a huge stage where all of us are only actors. According to Shakespeare, every man plays several parts during his life time. Infant, school boy, lover, soldier, magistrate, old man and the dying man-all these parts are played by us one after another on the stage that is this world, unless untimely called back to the place where we came from. Infancy - at this time all that the baby does is cry and he emerges as a school child.
Fong further writes that if the poem is quoted at all, it is to mention “the father’s “mixture of tenderness and brutality” and the child’s “admiration and fear” (1990).

Spanking the children is not okay because it would make the child has bad memories and spanking can’t solve problems. Spanking will make the children have bad memories.

If they dealt with being isolated by other boys because they didn’t feel comfortable around you. If they dealt with being jumped. And being called a faggot. And wanting to commit suicide. Maybe they would understand how strong we really are.
