Rafaela Who Drinks Coconut & Papaya Juice on Tuesdays.
Key Characters:
Rafaela
Husband
Summary:
This chapter is about how Rafaela is this woman who is a very beautiful woman but doesn't get much respect from her husband. "Gets locked indoors because her husband is afraid Rafaela will run away since she is too beautiful to look at."(pg. 79) This shows that even her husband can't resist her and can't risk losing her. Rafaela always leans out the window and just dreams of what her life would be like if she could life it. She can't even go to the store, she has to ask the kids to get her drinks. And she always seems to get either coconut or Papaya juice, and it's always on Tuesdays. She also wishes that there were sweeter drinks, ones that make you feel like your on an island.
Figurative Language:
"wishes there were sweeter drinks, not bitter like an empty room,"(pg. 80)
",but sweet sweet like the island,"(pg. 80)

Yes I think Rafaela is like Esperanza's grandmother because she wants to get away from her husband because she knows she can do better. Also, she waits by the window just like grandmother.
