The common cuckoo can be recognized by its soft, two-note call: “cuc-koo, cuc-koo.” This gentle song may make the bird seem innocent. However, the cuckoo is guilty of using a few cunning schemes to advance its own interests. Specifically, cuckoo birds employ a technique known as mimicry.

Thanks to these wily tricks, common cuckoos have managed to thrive in many parts of the world.

In my analysis of this novel, The Adventure of Don Chipote or, When Parrots Breast-Feed by Daniel Venegas, I kept in mind that Nicolás Kanellos put great effort into getting this novel circulated in Spanish and in English. Kanellos argues that Spanish-language immigrant novels more accurately present the “evils” of American society such as oppression of the immigrant workers and deconstructs the myth of the American Dream, which permeates in English-language ethnic autobiographies. I believe Kanellos felt so passionately about circulating this particular novel was due to the fact that in Venegas’ novel we see clear representations of the three U.S. Hispanic cultures that Kanellos presents which are the native, the immigrant, and the exile cultures.

Imagine if there were a significant period in American history, in which a skilled and competent writer had not taken pen in hand, to capture that period's significance or meaning. One must ask, what would be inherently lost, if all we had were self serving war stories such as, "American Sniper" or "Zero Dark Thirty," (as entertaining as they might be) to reflect upon the deeper meanings of the wars of this time. Moreover, one could only imagine the loss, if during other significant periods of American history; there were no captivity narratives such as Mary Rowlandson's.

As a result, Edna’s development as a more autonomous character is reflected because of symbolism, such as the caged bird that represents her entrapped life, Mademoiselle Reisz’s piano playing that opens up her artistic creativity, and the waves that drag her into freeing her own life. At the beginning of the story, a caged parrot is introduced as an annoyance to Leonce.
