Abstract
To my parents, who, after teaching me to read and fostering my love for writing, have subsequently endured years of me reading my work aloud to them. Who, despite not knowing a word of Spanish beyond “dónde está la bibliotéca”, have always encouraged me to follow my passion for the language and literature. Who, by virtue of their own work ethic, have taught me humility and dedication. To my mother, the smartest and most elegant woman I will ever have the honor of meeting, for showing me confidence and strength, and for being the first to tell me “the world is your oyster.” To my Dad, for letting me borrow some of his motivation when I was running low on my own, and for reminding me to every once in a while visit the mountains and the oceans, take a breath, and look up at the stars. To all the teachers along the way who taught me not to settle for answers, but to continue asking questions. To Robert Conn, for his willingness to share his wealth of knowledge with me, and his unwavering support as my thesis advisor. To Paul Schwaber, whose advice to “write with care ” I have carried with me. To Lisa Cohen,
