How does the theme of this excerpt connect to everyday
life?
The people of the village soon got to know Blanca Flor and
came to respect her for the good person she was. One day,
Blanca Flor heard news that a celebration was being held in
honor of Juanito's return home. She immediately knew that
this might be her one chance to break the curse. From the
times when she had brushed Juanito's hair, she had kept a
lock of his hair. She took one strand of his hair and made it
into a dove. She then took one strand of her own hair and
turned it into another dove. She took these two doves to
Juanito's celebration as a present.
It shows that sometimes people need to give up on their
desires.
Blanca Flor's persistence reminds the audience to never
give up.
O Blanca Flor's use of magic teaches that this is the only
way to get love.
It reveals that sometimes two people are not meant to be
together.​
