Estrella Alfon's "English" is a short story that talks about the harsh society that paralyzes those who are in the lower social class and how a man named Marco, struggles to fit in this society. The story begins with Marco hurrying to work, barely noticing the people around him as he walked by uttering English words to himself. As Marco arrived from work, he can't help but remember his times in the bodega when he was not yet a pesador. Then, Marco and Martin read an English paper together barely understanding what it meant. Soon, Marco went home, and taught his sons some basic "English." A few moments later, Rafael arrived and made Marco realize something. That's about it for the story of English. You may have noticed that my summary of the story was boring and straight to the point. Yes, that's exactly what it may feel...
