When looking at the issues in Like Water for Chocolate, I really seem to be having a hard time deciding what I want to dig deeper into. When looking into to themes today I like the theme my group had of magic. The fact that it was not typical fairy magic but a real life type of magic in that something happened at the right time for a reason really interests me. But I also am interested in the topic of love and forbidden love. Lastly healing really caught my attention but I am a bit worried that I will not have enough to talk about. I was thinking that I could maybe look into the different types of heal that exists within the novel or I could connect the healing and magic in someway. Maybe I could use kikapu and the match metaphor, which I loved.
For my college essay, I was thinking that I could write about a recent event in my life that was a real challenge. This year my kumu asked me if I would like to go to Merrie Monarch and I said yes of course. For months I went to practice for two to three days a week, three to four hours a practice. We were presented with many problems, such as the Kahiko number we had been practicing another group was doing so we were forced to switch, leaving even less time. It was the week before we were about to leave and at Sophomore Banquet I started to have really bad stomach pains. The next day I went to the hospital and was told I had appendicitis and was not going to be able to dance. I was devastated because it was my dream that had just been shattered. Although I was extremely heart broken, I really learned to appreciate hula, my hula brothers and sisters, my kumu, and my dream even more.
