Tortilla

       In "Tortillas" Jose Burciaga talks about his childhood experimenting with tortillas and how they are used throughout the Mexican American community.It showed how simple tortillas could have many uses other then a wrapping for food. I thought the uses were creative and reminds me of macaroni art. I also find some of the uses weird like warm rolled up tortillas with salt or using a tortillas to host a church event. The last sentence said that even simple things can be unexpectedly distinctive when necessity arrives which goes to show anything can have multiple purposes if you use your imagination.

  1. Interesting that you picked up on the importance of the last sentence because, arguably, this is the thesis.
