Stones for Ibarra

Adelita Lopez<Tab/> <Tab/>There are many different cultures, beliefs and diverse people around the world; this short story Stones for Ibarra brings together two totally different worlds, that of the Everton's and the "townspeople". The Everton's are an American couple looking to settle down in this little abandoned town. Both of these worlds teach each other many different things and influence each other in every way. …

…it comes to custom and tradition. I believe that stones represent their stiffness and their neglect to change for the world or to change their small cultural town. Those people are simply a big town of stones ignorant to the world outside of them which is why they worship figures such as a padre or a wealthy foreigner that come from elsewhere, like the Everton's. <Tab/> <Tab/>
