Are they describing specific scenes via visual and sensory imagery and attending to the way things look/smell/sound/taste/feel/etc? Or are they merely summarizing generic scenes? ie: Telling, not showing. How and where could your partner use more detail to describe their place?Dualities: Point out some dualities or tensions that your partner is attempting to explore in their Vignette. These dualities may not always be obvious or even on purpose, and they may not be well-developed at all. How could your partner further develop the dualities and conflicts present in their place? Where might they be missing key opportunities to tell the story of their place, or dig deeper into its underbelly? Make sure that your partner is not only exploring the positive aspects of their place, but also the negative. Otherwise, there is no tension, and therefore no story!Language: Where and how does your partner struggle most when it comes to language and/or word choice?

Peru, a country in the coast of South America, characterized as having different locations
that contain 3 seasons out of the 4 seasons of the year. In different parts along the coast one will
find different type of people. People’s attitudes vary according to the geographical region. For
example, in the jungle people are happier and more extroverted. On the other hand, in the
mountains, people are friendlier and but more introverted.
Trujillo, a little city in Peru, characterized as “The city of eternal spring”. The
temperature is mostly warm for most part of the year, it ranges from 65° to 80 ° Fahrenheit. A lot
of the townspeople say that there’s a definite correlation with the weather with the way people
are and their personality. People are “more alive”, more clever. They are competitive, they
always want what’s best. After high school, students rush to get into college. Some even travel
from different cities to have the chance of getting into a “prestigious university”. In Trujillo
everyone wants to achieve their dreams and they accomplish it by working hard and not stopping
until they are the best. College students have classes from 7AM to 2PM then go home, eat, spend
time with their families, and go back to school at 4PM to do assigned group projects and study
for tests. The average time a college student goes back home for the night is around 8 or 9PM.
They work endlessly to graduate and move on in the educational road that they have set for
themselves.
People from all around Peru go to Trujillo to study because it’s considered “The city of
culture”. This city has been influenced by Peruvian literature that has shaped the way of culture.
Everywhere you turn you’ll see a building with some sort of archeological significance. Most of
the buildings in the city are old relics of the people who used to live there. People who spent
their entire lifetimes building something that will last a lifetime. The people of the city tend to
preserve historical places like archeological complexes, so the new generations don’t forget their

ancestors. The most famous place visited in the country is Machu Picchu, located in the
mountains. Getting there is an exhausting yet exhilarating adventure. You can see the natives and
what they do in their daily lives. You most likely won’t be able to communicate with them
because they speak their native language in Quechua.
Seeing how natives interact with their families is different from what we’re used to.
Children honor their parents and elders to the fullest extent. They are very religious and have an
attachment to the Catholic religion. They still stick to their “old ways” where they physically
punish their kids if they don’t follow what they say. Parents always wants was best for their
children so if they have to resort to physical punishment, they will. Families are always based on
morale, you need to be courteous to elders, say hi to everyone you are introduced to and most
importantly, have manners. They like to have a good image of themselves and are very
judgmental of other people. Having daughters is even more delicate. Parents and brothers often
take care of the females because if they make mistakes, it can follow them for the rest of their
lives. They don’t want other families judging their family, they always want to keep a clean
image. Parents inculcate the idea of values: never lie, respect others, don’t talk back, and believe
in God. Parents will always act like parents regardless of their children’s age or marital status. In
their eyes, they still need to protect them from others.
