About This Site
This multimedia website is to be used as an interactive tool to help both students and teachers with a discussion on Viramontes's short story "The Moths" in her collection of short stories The Moths and Other Stories. Although the focus of this website will be on "The Moths," it can also be used as a way to obtain BACKGROUND information for the rest of her collection of short stories. Finally, this website also aims to help readers realize that ethnic writers such as Viramontes, are all part of the same world every other person lives in. For someone to say ethnic writers are not part of a universal world is impossible: we all share in the same five senses, "There'Â’s no way that other people cannot connect" (Romero on Viramontes Interview).
Important Note: Viramontes' words inspired this section as seen in a video by Mil Mascaras.

When referencing "The Moths," this website will be using the 1995 reprint of The Moths and Other Stories.
