By reading the cover of "How the Garcia girls lost Their Accents" it made me think that the story was going to be about Hispanics. Also by reading the title I think that the book is going to involve culture. I read the back and thought it had an interesting plot. For the family tree I know that two families are connected to each other on the page and I also noticed that it said something about a great great grandfather who married a Swedish girl, and that seems interesting. What I feel that is interesting about the outset is that it starts off with a family having a celebration which makes the reader have a happy emotion while reading. I think that this book is something that I might like because of the plot and the book description. By reading the back and the title, I understand why the book is called "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents". It said that the girls had to leave the Dominican Republic because of there fathers plan against a cruel dictator and they had to move to New York City. I understand the title because it said that they ironed there hair, and tried to forget there spanish, and thats how I think they lost there accent or a piece of there culture. The title didnt seem too exciting to me but it still seemed like the story line could be interesting. I predict that the girls are going forget about who they really are in the book. I think somthing is going to happen to there father for planning something against the cruel didtator. Nothing really stands out from the book. Overall I think Im going to like the book and think it's going to deal with culture throughout it. Posted 30th January by TroyJones75
