In the lectures, Tepeyac by Sandra Cisneros and Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya the main theme is to deal with a religious thematic, shown in different ways because of different socio-cultural backgrounds. The comparative analysis is used in order to give the main purpose which refers to establish where there would be a similarity or a difference in the treat of the same thematic in both authors. The variables to be analyzed are perspective about religion and representations of those perspectives into the text. In Bless Me Ultima, the perspective about religion is stated by means of the catholic religion. “ We managed to get through the final week of chatechism lesson.” (Anaya, Rudolfo). The cite shows a group of children who are involved in certain environment of Catholicism. In addition, Rudolfo Anaya states something that is very important in almost every religion, specially in Catholicism, and this is the concept that the material things disappear at the pass of time, but it is the soul what last forever. It can be inferred that the children have developed a sense of religion, since Catholicism is imposed by their families, taking them to cathecism. The perspective of religion manages the soul. As a very important part of the catholic ideals, the soul represent values, ideals, costumes, and traditions that compared to material things, those valuable concepts are what make us more or less valuable as a person. So, what it can be inferred is that the children have developed a sense of religion, since Catholicism is imposed by their families, taking them to cathecism. The perspective in this case manages an important aspect, the soul. As a very important part of the catholic ideals, the soul represent our values, ideals, costumes, traditions, etc, that compared to material things, those valuable concepts are what make us more or less valuable as a person.
