Poem"Latin Women Pray"


In this poem the poet explains how Latin’s act when they go to church that they are not like other countries were they don't visit your church because they are not of that religion but Latin’s don't think that way they love to visit other churches no matter if they are Jewish or if they don't understand what the church talk's about what they want is to have some relationship with God. What this poem refers is to the races and class of people were is always a controversy between the genders and this ends in a fight of religion what is not suppose to happened. This poem also has no rime and no assonance on it but it is like and explanation of a situation Latin’s have to deal in their life because how they don't have an specific religion people ignore them and don't want Latin’s to join their religion. A lot of the Latin women in times around 1952 were was written this poem looks like they were hoping that God help them and they were desperate because in this times was when the Spanish people was coming to America and almost all of them were poor people who need some help to maintain their families but this take this women to go to churches were they didn't understand nothing they were talking but their only dream was that God help them to survive in this country were they were being humiliated by people who they didn't understand what they were talking because they didn't know that language. This poem explain us how our Latin people suffer and fell spiritually and that they knew that without that big God they weren’t going to survive and this was something serious to the Latin’s because now they have successfully achieve their goals is America that are Respect of their precedence.

I like the poem you choose and I also like your reflection. I think that latin people go to the church they want no matter the religion, what matters is that believes in God.

I liked your choice for a poem, as well as how you analyzed it. i think you are getting better in poem interpretation. I know you felt identified with the topic of the poem.

It is true, Latins like to go to church, even if they don't understand anything given in each service. Is a blessing for us Latins to be aware of God's existence and to have this desire of going to church to give thanks to God.

You're right, Latins are very religious and they like to go to church. The church was not built for a specific religion. A church is a place to have contact with God. That’s what most Latins think about the church and one of the good things about them, well, us.
