Question:
In the beginning of the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer describes the irony of her Sunday mass being translated by a Chinese priest, and in the final paragraph she ends with yet again another ironic reference to her religion when she describes that " Latin women pray to an Anglo God/ with a Jewish heritage." Why do you think she even bothers to mention this in her essay, and how does it add to her struggle as a Latin woman?
