"I had on a beautiful red dress, but what I saw was even more valuable. I was strong. I was pure. I had genuine thoughts inside that no one could see, that no one could ever take away from me. I was like the wind."
At this point, Lindo has never been able to make her own decisions. Everything in her life was organized from the age of two. When she looks in the mirror and sees herself in her wedding dress before the ceremony, Lindo makes the first decision to live her life and keep her promise to her parents, but to never forget herself. She promises to always remember what is inside of her.
The literary term I chose for this chapter was DILEMMA (a situation that requires a person to decide between two equally attractive or equally unattractive alternatives). We make decisions everyday. Things like what to wear that day, what to respond to someone, or whether or not to succumb to peer pressure are all decided. Lindo made a decision to blow out the candle. She chose to think about her fate and make a decision on what to do about it. Lindo was faced with a dilemma and she found her way out of it so she wouldn't break any promises.
