Sharon Solomon February 14, 2015 Professor Joewono English II Public Life in Orozco’s The Orientation It is amazing how one person can lead two lives at the same time, one public and the other private. Public life is the aspect of life which is happening in the open, as opposed to the private life which is happening in the closed family environment. The coexistence of public and private lives are what help an individual lead a smooth life altogether. In Daniel Orozco’s The Orientation, the relationship between public and private life is well portrayed. Using setting, characters and point of view, Daniel Orozco cleverly showcases the degradation of the thin line that once separated the two lives and indicates the one may or may not have a strong impact on the other.
