My name is Jordan Chin, I am a freshman at Baruch College in New York, NY and my intended major is Real Estate and Metropolitan Development. Now, over the summer we read a book, and my favorite parts about it were how the writer introduced certain characters like Maribel, who was a Mexican girl living in the United States. It really showed the hardships she had to endure whilst living in the United States, and it really opens the reader’s eyes as to how our society really is. One thing that I did not like about the book was that Alma was too protective of Maribel, being her mother, but also how she blames herself for Maribel’s accident. It shows how being the mother that she is, she cares a lot for her daughter and takes the blame for when she gets hurt.
