The poem entitled in the name Salome made by Julia Alvarez is a work that examine every aspect of the

creative writing life, including the emotional challenges of creating stories and poems, the writers need
for love and acceptance, the writers need for love use both of her own experiences and that of other’s,
the connection between life and art, and the crucial role of genres in transforming it all into art.

Alvarez has always found multiple points of view not merely compatible it of necessary to records and
express the renances of the theme and characters. She tells the story from the point of view of a
mother, Salomé and her daughter Camila. Sometimes the point of view is simply limited omniscient,
sometimes it seems to be first person interior, and sometimes it is unlimited omniscient point of view
Camila is sixty-six in the prologue. The point at which alvarez begins the novel. It opens with a striking
physical description of her is a tall, elegant woman with a soft brown color to her skin (southern Italian?
a Mediterranean Jew? A light skinned Negro woman who has been allowed to pass by virtue of her
advanced degrees?) That immediately connects character theme she alternates with her mother,
Salomé, as the narrative points of view in alternating chapters, as signaled by the chapter headings. The
alternating chapter and voices comprise a structural device of great thematic significant with it. Alvarez
unites the work of the generations and explains one in terms of others. The structure also suggest that
without an alter viewing the present generation will always be lacking, incomplete, shallow and
insufficient. Camila as was her mother is a teacher, a repetition that argues for the indispensable role of
teachers. The story contain some violent scenes and language but still you can learn a lot from it. Some
of the sensory images that I find is that when the author describe the character and I imagine it while
reading as in her other fiction, poetry, and, essay. Alvarez argues that writing matters because it take us
out of ourselves and into the lives and worlds of others. Knitting us together as a human species: yet
difficult and awful as it is, the writer must struggle to find her own voice. In Salomé, however, more than
in any of her others works except in the “Time of the butterflies “where the story of the muabel sisters
records directly the immense sacrifice and courage of these women in opposing the tyranny of jrujillo,
the writing compellingly combines the personal and political.
