Please address #1 and #2 below in a paper of roughly 200-300 words.
1) Look at the front cover image for When My Brother Was An Aztec and the first poem in that collection that has the same name. What do you notice in the image? How does the image potentially connect to the poem?
2) What word or images from the “When My Brother Was an Aztec” poem stand out to you? Please identify the lines and place in bold the particular words that seem to come from the Aztec world or are at least words that seem out of place in our everyday lives. Find two separate words/lines that you will analyze. Write a few lines of analysis underneath each one. Try to pick lines that may have a connection and note this connection. (I give an example of this in the lecture for this week.)
Example:
sacrificed my parents every morning (lines 1-2)
Aztecs would sacrifice people to the god Huitzilopochtli. This comparison of the parents’ situation to that of being sacrificed to the god explores the idea that the parents are killed for a greater good–to appease this god. Later, the brother is compared to Huitzilopochtli, so it seems they are being sacrificed to him while in his drug-induced state. “Every morning”–suggests a ritualistic activity between the brother and parents. Also, you can’t literally be killed every morning, so this suggests a symbolic killing or death of the parents.
