In literature, Norte’s narrators express the methods in which the Latino family objectifies women based on their gender. At some point, gender and ethnicity come together to perpetuate favor on women. The title “Senorita Black Velvet Latina” is a representation of honor and respect for women. There are several elements dictated by the title that define traits that the woman possesses. The development of the title is a form of an art that creates and develops an image of a woman who has the title in the mind of a person who has never seen the woman but has heard about the woman through a narration.
As an art, this title defines hyperbole, which is a main element in the literature that tries to give deeper meaning of something by comparing an element with a renowned element (Claridge, 2011). In this case, Black Velvet is a renowned beer cocktail the represents recognition. In this title, this brand is used as a representation of what the woman is to the person or people recognizing her. It shows that these people value the woman and have massive respect for her defined by the title they use on her. Black Velvet is a representation of long time respect for an individual. This beer involves a long process of preparation, which is a representation of the long term respect that is defined by the good relationship that exists between the two people.
Emblem is the other literature element that has been defined in the title. As understood, this title is mainly for women who are recognized by their close associates as pros in their lives (Manning, 2004). For example, a man may give the title to his wife as recognition of their proper relationship. The term Senorita has been used in this title. This is a Spanish title that is given to a young lady to define her honor by an individual in the society (Logan, 2000).
As a literature element emblem has brought recognition of women through this title as an ample representation of how women needs be recognized and treated as noble people., However, recognition is not based on the fact that one is a woman, but it is embedded on the positive traits that the individual relays to the people around her. Senorita is a respectful lady who has proven this through representation of uniqueness and possession of traits that are envied by different people.
On the other hand, Latina is a representation of the capital of Latina province. In literature perspective, this has an unusually broad meaning on the element of the woman being defined through the title. Like the term Latina means a woman who is embedded to this title must be an individual characterized by several elements, which can be easily emulated (Nogales, 2007). This is a proper definition of allusion, which is an indirect definition of an individual or an element (Pasco, 2002).
This term represents broadness in terms of prosperity. It shows that the woman is a lady of stout heart, which is like a city and can accommodate a large number of people. This means that this woman appreciates any person who comes along her life and may be the main reason why she is considered for the title. It may also define productivity and prosperity since in a city development and prosperity is core (Pallán, 2005). An industrious woman is worth recognition in the society. This is automatically observed by individuals who closely relate with the woman. Recognition through this title comes along with critical evaluation for the woman with a close look at her behaviors to define that she deserves the title.
Therefore, the title “Senorita Black Velvet Latina” is a representation of good morals and honor of a woman in the society. It is an art born of massive respect and built of symbolic representation for the credited respect.
