What do you think the significance of Allende’s title is? What does it mean to be made of clay?

The clay could tell the story of how Rolf got created from his history and set free. It could have been a biblical reference when God generated humanity from soil. It could also represent how the media formed us to be clay-like. It causes us to think in particular ways, and because clay is dirt, dirt is the deception or exaggerations that the media is trying to show. It is sometimes more vital to cover the story than help Azucena.
