The Mexican and the American Dream: Gary Soto's "When Mexicans Begin Jogging" When readers get their first taste of Gary Soto's poetry they must savor its authentic seasoning of ethnic spice Soto's Mexican voice is distinctly clear. In "Mexicans Begin Jogging" the audience is treated to a wide range of flavorful vehicles of comedy that are quintessential to Soto's writings: identity, imagery, and irony all rich with individualistic stoicism and deep-rooted heritage. But for the author's narration to be fully appreciated, the audience must understand the situations and sensations that surround the Mexican-American livelihood and must foremost explicate his texts from a sociological perspective. "Mexicans Begin Jogging" begins by placing the reader into the shoes of the author, or in this case, the work boots. Soto is working the factory's press, as he did in his youth; an industrial job not uncommon for illegal immigrants whom have come to in pursuit of a better lifestyle. So when 'La Migra' (Spanish slang for the border patrol) show up everyone must run to escape possible deportation. That is, everyone except Soto. His boss commands him to jump the fence, like the others, and run, but he is unconvincing. He eventually must pay him to flee. This is the first point of conflict in the poem.

Throughout the autobiographical narrative written by Gary Soto, many different literary elements are used to recreate the experience of his guilty six-year old self. Different elements such as contrast, repetition, pacing, diction, and imagery. Soto narrates this story as a young boy at a time when he seems to be young and foolish, Soto foolmaking mistakes, but at the same time hoping to learn from them. Soto uses each of these devices to convey different occurrences in the narrative. Contrast is used when Soto compares himself to Eve, a biblical character, when God punished her for stealing an apple from a sacred garden.

Like many Mexican Americans in Fresno, Sotos parents and grandparents had once worked as farmworkers in the surrounding countryside. Although both of his parents were American born, their Mexican heritage remained a vital influence in their home. When Sotos father was killed in a factory accident when Gary was five, his mother was forced to struggle to provide for the family. For young Gary, survival took precedence over any dreams of writing. Soto tells interviewer, Jean W. Ross, I dont think I had any literary aspirations when I was a kid. In fact we were pretty much an illiterate family . . . So my wanting to write poetry was a sort of fluke. ... Order Buried Onions Order other books by Soto, Gary
