When doing my first literary analysis of American History I overlooked a few things:
1. The Title- 'Skinny Bones' was planning on studying for an American History test the fellow she likes. Also the title is also tied into the setting of the story: the day JFK was shot.
2. Point of View- l always forget this one. The point of view was First Person told in the present tense with a series of flashbacks.
3. Characterization- 'Skinny Bones' is a female ninth grader. She is Porto Rican.
4. Motifs- The colors white and grey, the ugliness of El Building.
5. The Author- J. Cofer is a Porto Rico born author who currently resides in Georgia. She is a renowned author and english professor. Her work talks a lot about racism and feminism.
