This poem uses a lot of internal structure to emphasize on the vastness between the two cultures. I believe the narrator is stuck between choosing the traditional way of life and one she aspires to be in. The first door is a portal into a humdrum world of structured life, and the inability go apart from it. The women in this room "seldom smile", because they are unhappy living in this type of lifestyle. However the other room is filled with laughter and i can actually picture the vividness of their room compared to the other. The internal structure used by Pat Mora offers the reader insight into two different types of worlds, and she is stuck between choosing the un traditional world without structure, but happiness and one with structure but without happiness.
