1. What is the importance of the marigold in Dia de Los Muertos? How did that become the one associated with the ofrendas?
2. Can one make an ofrenda for anyone? Or is it more focused on remembrance of family or people close to us? How has this changed over time as communities like Ofelia Esparza's become larger and larger?
3. How does this idea of the three deaths affect other aspects of how death is viewed in Mexican culture? Are their funerals similar to traditional American ones or are them more emphasized on remembrance of the person in celebration in order to keep them alive in the memories of loved ones?
