Fuentes

The purpose of why he wrote this essay is hazy, as well as the other points. It is possible that Fuentes wanted to clear up some things about why he began to write, and escpecially why he writes in Spanish- which he said, literature-wise, is struggling. It is true that English is a language that is very kind to writers, and it is admirable that a multilingual writer would choose to use Spanish. This says something about the audience most of his writing is directed to, becaues obviiously most of his writing is directed to a Mexican audience. However, this essay obviously isn't, which is curious- why would he do most of his writing in Spanish, but write this essay in English? it's always possible that the essay was directed to explain the fact that he wrote in Spanish to an audience that generally speaks English, but what would be his reasons for that? In reality, what he's done here is confusing. His style is autobiographical, which would make sense because the essay is an autobiographical essay, but it gives truth to the situation and helps him to explain himself, although his motives behind writing this essay are rather unclear.
