Of ers,
and
the
7. In the poem “Los Ancianos" (see the
Connection on page 294), the elderly
Hispanic couple, dressed in old cloth-
ing and walking slowly, seems to rep-
resent traditional values. In contrast,
the tourists in halter tops posing for
cameras seem to represent a more
modern, materialistic world. What
point might the poet be making by
this contrast? Do you see any simi-
larity between the poet's point and
Della and Jim's situation? Explain.
