The front page of this book is really interesting to me. It has a small front cover, it is all yellow and that color makes me think of the sun and the good things that are supposed to come in the future. based off the name of the book, my assumption would prove to be contradicting according to the title of the book. when someone loses their accent, it shows that they lost a part of culture and they are undergoing a subliminal change. The front cover has the legs of what seems to be a salsa dances. I know in Hispanic cultures, salsa dancing is a big part of their life and plays a big part in family traditions. The front has plenty of information that can be gained from looking at it and pondering about it. on the rear of the book, it talks about how the book is special and how many people enjoy it. I don't believe in these reviews, i need to read the book to see if it is foolishness or not.
From looking at the family tree, it is evident that the Garcia family has an extended history and this may be important to them. It seems like they have come a far way from where they originally was. This makes me believe that from the family having such a extended history, it will be a huge thing that they will lose their accents.
From reading the first couple of pages i have realized that he author, Julia Alverez, has a distinctive writing style, it actually makes me want to read the book. Personally, i have never read a book in its entirety, but from reading these first couple of pages it grabs so much of my attention that I will read the whole book!
