Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts. -Nikki Giovanni
I chose this quote because it reminds me of "Corregidora." The main character "Ursa" in this story experiences a traumatic event that is very life changing for her as an individual and as a woman. She becomes barren, and her inability to bare children causes conflict with the desires of her ancestors who expect her to "birth out" a new generation to carry on the legacy of those who once lived. The quote is prevalent to the story because Ursa is placed in a position where she must "give a response to the error" she has encountered.
