Identify the name of the author, the title of the work, and the national origin of the writer. Then analyze the passage. That’s it. My mind’s made up. I’m going back to Cuba. I’m fed up with everything around here. I take all my money out of the bank, a one-way bus ticket to Miami. I figure if I can just get there, I”ll be able to make my way to Cuba, maybe rent a boat or get a fisherman to take me. I imagine Abuela Celia’s surprise as I sneak up behind her. She’ll be sitting in her wicker swing overlooking the sea and she’ll smell of salt and violet water. There’ll be gulls and crabs along the shore. She’ll stroke my cheek with her cool hands, sing quietly into my ear.
