A pattern is something that happens over and over again. It can be a model, design, plan, or simply anything that is worthy of imitation. Whether it is a theme or a character trait, finding the patterns in a particular book, short story or poem can help us to fully understand the text.
As we have discussed in class, Gary Soto writes with patterns. Some of those patterns include:
- Writing about personal experiences
- The settings of his stories often take place in or around Fresno, California
- Mexican Americans
- Life as an adolescent
- Falling in love
What are some of the other patterns that you found while reading?
