Borderlands/La Frontera

In Borderlands/La Frontera, Gloria Anzaldua speaks of the U.S. Mexican Border. She uses vivid comparisons and analogies when describing the U.S. Mexican Border. In the second sentence she describes worlds merging by comparing it to a scab that gets worse, before it gets better. The way she describes the people that live on the "other side" of the border, was in a way harsh. It seems to me that she feels resentment and bitterness towards the border situation. Her closing sentence was a strong way to end the paragraph. It made you think.
