Separation of Languages A door with “English” written on one side and “Español” on the other. A key outside the door, but it doesn’t fit → showing the father can’t fully control the split. Two Languages in One Heart A heart split down the middle, one half with “English letters” (A, B, C), the other half with “Spanish words” (A, B, C with accent marks). But both halves stitched together → showing they are still one. Secret Syllables A book under a blanket with glowing letters escaping into the night (representing her reading and practicing secretly). Tongue Learning A tongue-shaped ribbon or road winding between two dictionaries: “English” on one side, “Español” on the other. Father’s Fear and Pride A pen writing verses on paper, with the father’s shadow standing outside the page, symbolizing pride but also fear of the words. Layout Idea Top: a door marked “English” on one side, “Español” on the other, with a useless key nearby. Middle: a stitched heart with both languages inside.
