The vignette that stood out to me the most was “Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark”. In this vignette by author Sandra Cisneros, she talks about her papa and how he tells her that her grandpa has passed away. While her father is telling her this, this is the first time that she sees her father having a moment of sadness. Although her father having this sad moment, he still has to get up before everyone to go to work I assume. I relate to this vignette because I’ve had a moment similar to this one before. My father who also gets up every day at 2:30 am while its still dark out, feeling tired and sleepy, also makes it to work no matter what. During the covid-19 pandemic, I remember my father calling me from work to tell me that my great grandmother had passed away. From the phone call alone I was able to hear the sadness from my dads tone. When he came home that afternoon, I just remember the sad, gloomy look on his face. I never seen my dad like that before, it also made me think about what would I do If I lost him.
