Quote #4
all wanting the comfort
of spoken Spanish, to gaze upon the family portrait
of her plain wide face (18-20)
How can one face look like a "family portrait"? This isn't some Picasso-inspired cubist commentary. Instead, our store owner is a familiar face. She reminds her customers of the people they have left behind to come to the U.S. That's one reason why they now feel so at home in her deli.
