STEPS FINAL WORK
1. How the environment influences the lives of

the characters in the novel "la perra"?

2. Five situations from the novel where the

influence of the environment can be evidenced

and explain how it causes it

3. What kind of violence occurs during the story

and how does this affect the lives of the

characters?
Cultural lanscape
In the book "la perra" it can be seen that the whole story takes place on the Pacific

coast where most of the time they have a humid tropical jungle climate with

temperatures above 24 degrees all year. The rains occur throughout the year,

without a dry season.

This makes him a very interesting target to develop the story because in the social

and geographical context he put them in a very difficult position of poverty and

various problems he had with Rogelio.

 The environment influences

WEATHER
The climate affects them a lot due
to the mobility part when it rains
and the town floods, having to
develop habits to swim.
FAUNA, FLORA
Nature and animals are an
important part of
representing things like the
motherhood that Damaris
wanted with her dog.
RELIGIÓN
Creencias e ideologías. Puede ser
étnica (específica de grupos
nacionales) o universal (cualquier

 how is the enviroment in the novel?
the environment in the novel can be evidenced when:
1. Damaris was trying to cross to get to the town and couldn't because

of the torrential downpours.

2. when great storms fell on the house of the kings.
3. when a great darkness fell because it was like a rural area and did

not have much light, allowing one to witness the stars and the moon.
4. when it was very hot due to the high temperatures when being on

the coast.
5. on rainy days that it is cold.
Many of these things occur due to climate change, and which is

produced by the bad habits that human beings have: voting for water,

throwing garbage into the rivers and streets, oil and something very

important.
what is the violence in the text?

IN THIS NOVEL THERE WERE VARIOUS TYPES OF

VIOLENCE, SUCH AS WHEN DAMARIS WAS WHIPPED

BECAUSE THEY BLAMED HER FOR THE DEATH OF

NICOLASITO, ALSO WHEN ROGELIO ATTACKED THE

DOGS BECAUSE HE WANTED THEM TO DO WHAT HE

WANTED AND THE LAST TIME WAS WHEN HIS SISTER

DE DAMARIS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST HER FOR NOT

BEING ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN.
