This class discussion was the best that we had so far says Mr. Sutherland and i agree that it was the best. This book was confusing and never changed from being confusing, but it did get less confusing. Yolanda does change through out the book but i was kind of agreeing with kyle that maybe Yolanda did not change that much. Like maybe that is who she was really is on the inside and when she came to America she finally got to show how she really is on the inside. This is more like a question that can never be answered because we do not know Yolanda like that.
Like did she really change when went to America or was she already like that? Lots of people in class have there own opinions on what they think about the book. The kitten part in the story gave me a real shock too. I knew exactly that the Kitten could represent Yolanda and her sisters. Like saying that The kitten are sent away from there mothers like Yolanda and her sisters were sent away from there mothers to go to America. There lives changed because comparing the Dominican Republic is really different from America. They probably have an unexpected feeling because she was sent to America so unexpectedly. She was probably shocked and did not know what to feel. I am Guessing that since the tittle is "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" Maybe they did not really loose there accents, They actually mean they lost there innocence. I do not think that she lost her innocence from just experiencing the world more.
It is also about loosing the things that she had. like she had her mom before and her family, but going to America she lost that and mostly had to rely on herself to help her grow up in life. "Kittens die faster when they don't have their mom" That can effect her while growing up too because she was not fully grown when she was sent away and just learns everything on her own. I do not think the topic of this book was open to the other things much.
