The essay Tortillas by Jose' Antonio Burciaga is a very interesting essay. I love how the author states that his "family claims" that he "owes" his career as an artist" due to his early experiments with tortillas." I chuckled out loud when I read that he used to wear tortillas as a yarmulke and that he never had any great urge to convert from Catholicism to Judaism. Jose' states very historical facts about the Mexican traditional tortillas.
I laugh because I feel as though he is sarcastic in some of his statements because of the "shrine" of Jesus Christ in the tortilla. I enjoyed reading about the traditional tortilla.
Why do you think he uses sarcasm? Is it intentional?
