1. In “Rhetoric of the Object: Material Memory and the Artwork of Amalia Mesa-Bains” by Jennifer Gonzalez, I learned that, “rhetoric addressed the domains of public life, the law, virtue and vice” (Gonzalez 83). How do the rhetorical and intentional characteristics of the altar installations of Mesa-Bains demonstrate this and offer a story?
2. In the National Endowment of the Arts National Heritage tribute video to Ofelia Esparza, I learned that altars are embellished with flowers, candles, food incense, and photographs (0:52). What is the significance of each of these embellishments?
3. In “Master Altar-Maker Ofelia Esparza: L.A.’s National Treasure,” Ofelia Esparza states that, “One shouldn’t consider Día de los Muertos a holiday” (Esparza). Why could this be considered a fair statement made by Ofelia Esparza?
