Stones for Ibarra

Adelita Lopez         

        There are many various cultures, beliefs and diverse lot around the world; this short story Stones for Ibarra brings to perishher two totally different worlds, that of the Evertons and the townspeople. The Evertons are an American brace looking to settle down in this little remiss town. Both of these worlds teach each other many different things and influence each other in every way. The Evertons are viewed as somewhat of superior figures and the townspeople feel mortify to them. Even though there is a great loving difference between these two worlds they learn to cope and bury each other. In this small town religion is a big part of the townspeoples lives. Here priest, curanderos (witch-doctor), bishop, and any other servants of immortal were held and viewed as an elite group.         

        In this story I sight how all of these priests... this elite group actually took advantage of their positions. They allowed the Evertons to be a part of their luncheons, private celebrations and so forth. These social gatherings were conjectural to be for those only closely affiliated with the Catholic church yet the priests felt the authority to include the wealthy Evertons. overly the priests... felt themselves superior to the people of the town of Ibarra.



For example in pg.139, a deaf girl walks into one of the luncheons to greet the priest and he, as a form of greeting, does not bother to get up to show respect instead he evidently sits there and offers the girl his hand to kiss. This act itself shows how this group of graven image servants place themselves at a higher position than the domicile of the town.

        It is very hypocritical of the priests to act as higher peoples. Arent we all, in the eyes of god, equal?...
