Garcia Girls Reflection
The Garcia girls is one of the worst books i have ever read in my life. I honestly can say that it taught me 2 things from it. The first thing that i have learned from it is that you should always be respectful to your roots and where your ancestors have came from. growing up, i never liked being jamaican but as i grew old, i started to like being jamaican. The Garcia girls have fell far away from their roots and metaphorically lost their accents. When losing their accents, they started to give into american culture and follow what pop culture has to offer. I myself do not like the Garcia girls and their actions because they are to stick strong to who they are and not strem away from their real purpose which is to follow their parents and be happy. Sofia, is a failure at life and always messed up. She needed to be dominican and stay happy so that she can get far in life. Another thing that i have learned from this book is that you should judge a book by its cover. Initially i thought that this book was going to be a normal school book that i would not enjoy based off the cover, but i gave the book a chance and it made me mad like all other curriculum books. The book is written backwards which is really amazing. I find to peculiar for you to start a book at where the main characters are to where they were before. Its it makes you really have to pay attention and read deeply. EVen though i read deeply, i still never enjoyed a book because it never had any aspects in it that one can connect to on the daily basis. Overall, this book has tough me little to nothing and i would never recommend it to anyone to read, it would be a waste of time.
